Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold steady to 10.00 lower. Large bales of Grass hay sold weak, with no comparison for small bales due to limited lots this week. Large bales of Straw sold steady to 20.00 lower, with no comparison for small bales due to no test last week. Corn Fodder sold steady on a light test. Buyer attendance for todays sale was light to moderate, with light to moderate demand on a moderate supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a limited 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
