Compared to last week, large bales of Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass mix sold 10.00-20.00 higher, with no comparison for small bales. Large bales of Grass hay sold unevenly steady compared to a light test last week, with no comparison for small bales. Straw sold 5.00-10.00 lower on a light test this and last week. Buyer attendance for todays sale was moderate, with light moderate demand overall on a moderate sale supply. Reduced demand is likely due to local farmers returning to field work with the favorable weather over the past few days. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
