Load Count: 68

Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold weak compared to a light test last week. Large bales of Grass hay sold mostly steady, with too few lots of comparable small bales for a test. Large bales of Straw sold steady, with Corn Fodder trading steady on a light test this week. Buyer attendance for the sale was moderate, with moderate demand on a moderate supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
