Due to a light run this week, no price comparison is available. Buyer attendance was light, with a light sale supply and moderate demand overall. Reduced attendance for todays sale is likely due to local farmers currently harvesting and baling hay with favorable weather conditions. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
