Compared to last week, Alfalfa/Grass blends sold weak. Grass hay blends sold steady with a firm undertone. No price comparison for Straw due to a limited comparison. Buyer attendance was light to moderate, with moderate demand on a moderate sale supply. Weak prices and lower demand is likely due to rain occurring during the sale. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
