Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold steady to 15.00 higher for large bales, with no comparison for small bales due to limited sales. Large bales of Grass hay sold steady to 20.00 higher, with small bales selling firm on a light test this and last week. Large bales of Straw sold mostly steady, with Corn Fodder selling firm on a light test this and last week. Buyer attendance was moderate, with moderate demand overall on a moderate sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
