Today we had a nice smaller run of hay. We had a nice buying crowd in. The auction seemed to stabilize somewhat. Although the market is in the lower price range, it seemed to have more consistency from load to load.

Today we had a lot of good quality grass and alfalfa in. The market is still low. Good buyer crowd but not too aggressive. Alfalfa was steady and grass a little lower. We will continue to have auctions across from the old haylot- 2713 14th St. for the next couple weeks.
