Load Count: 58

Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold steady to 15.00 higher. Large bales of Grass hay sold 10.00-15.00 higher, with no comparison for small bales due to a limited test this week. Large bales of straw sold steady, with Corn Fodder selling steady to 10.00 higher. Buyer attendance was moderate, with moderate demand on a light to moderate supply of hay. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
