Load Count: 27

Compared to last week, all classes of hay sold strong. Wheat straw and corn fodder sold steady with a strong undertone noted. Buyer demand was moderate on a light supply likely due to rain. All prices are considered to be FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
