Load Count: 38

Compared to last week, Alfalfa/Grass blends sold 10.00-20.00 higher, with no comparison for Alfalfa due to limited sales last week. Large bales of Grass hay sold steady to 10.00 higher, with no comparison for small bales. Large bales of Straw sold mostly steady, with no comparison for small bales. Buyer attendance was moderate to light, with moderate to light demand on a moderate to light sale supply. Reduced demand and attendance is likely due to hot weather conditions. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
