We had several loads of new hay in today, some of which are unmarked on the report. Demand for new hay was good and the quality of the new hay was generally very good. Market for old alfalfa was off $20. Demand for grass was good, but the market trended $10- $20 lower. We had a much larger volume today. We are selling some trucks, trailers, and also a 1066 tractor. You can find details at the bottom of the events page on our website, or you can call Paul at 712-470-1274.

*I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I had any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn’t have signed up for the class in the first place.
*Instead of calling it the John, I’m going to start calling my bathroom the “Jim” that way I can say I go to the Jim every morning.

**A burglar broke into a home. He heard a soft voice say, “Jesus is watching you.” Thinking it was just his imagination, he continued his search. Again, “Jesus is watching you.” He turned the flashlight around and saw a parrot in a cage. He asked the parrot if he was the one talking. The parrot said yes. He asked the parrot his name. The parrot said, “Moses.” The burglar asked, “What kind of people would name their parrot Moses?” The parrot replied, “The same kind of people who would name their pit-bull Jesus.”

**One evening a father overheard his son saying his prayers, “God bless Mommy, Daddy and Grammy. Good bye Grandpa.” Well the father thought it was strange, but he soon forgot about it. The next day, the grandfather died. A month later the father heard his son saying prayers again: “God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy. Goodbye Grammy.” The next day the grandmother died. Well, the father was getting more than a little worried about the whole situation. One week later, the father once again overheard his son’s prayers. “God bless Mommy, Good bye Daddy.” This nearly gave the father a heart attack. He didn’t say anything but he got up early to go to work so that he would miss all the traffic. He stayed all through lunch and dinner. Finally after midnight, he went home. He was still alive! When he got home he apologized to his wife. “I am sorry, Honey. I had a very bad day at work today.” “You think you’ve had a bad day? YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD A BAD DAY!?” the wife yelled, “The mailman dropped dead on my doorstep this morning!”
