Load Count: 42

Compared to last week, Alfalfa sold weak on a light test this week, with Alfalfa/Grass blends selling mostly steady with a weak undertone. Large bales of Grass hay sold steady to firm, with no comparison for small bales. No price comparison is available for straw due to limited sales this week. Corn Fodder sold steady on a light test. Buyer attendance was light, with moderate demand and sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
