Load Count: 29

Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold firm on a light test this and last week. Large bales of Grass Hay sold steady to 15.00 lower, with no comparison for small bales. No comparison available for straw due to no sales this week. Overall buyer attendance and demand was moderate with a moderate sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
