Rock Valley Hay Report

90 Loads
___________________________________________________
Today the market was generally lower in all categories. The buyers were very discriminating on which loads they were interested in. The buyers only wanted the better quality loads & in general it seemed as if there was more interest in old alfalfa compared to new alfalfa. The quality of the grass was generally poorer than previous sales.
Auctions every Thursday at 12:30 pm.

A teenage boy had just passed his driving rest & asked his dad about using his car. His dad said he’d make a deal, “You bring your grades up from a C to B average, study your Bible & get your hair cut we’ll talk about the car.” The boy agreed and about 6 weeks later the father said, “son you’ve brought up your grades & I’ve seen you study your Bible but I’m disappointed you haven’t cut your hair.” The boy said, “You know dad, I’ve been thinking about that & I’ve noticed in my Bible studies that Samson had long hair as well as Moses, John the Baptist, & there is strong evidence that Jesus did too!” Dad replies, “Did you notice how they walked too?”

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, “Jesus knows you’re here.” He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard a voice say, “Jesus is watching you.” Freaked out he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. “Did you say that?” he hissed at the parrot. “Yep, I’m just trying to warn you that he is watching you.” The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?” “I’m Moses.” Replied the bird. “Moses?” The burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name their bird Moses?” “The same kind of people that would name their rottweiler Jesus!” squawked the parrot.

Today we were lucky and had approximately ½ inch of rain and sprinkles during the sale. We love rain but it does help make a buyer’s market. Today we saw the market trader unevenly lower. All hay sold was 2024 hay. We expect new hay next week. Auctions every Thursday at 12:30 pm.

So, I saw an old dude with a fishing rod outside my local bar fishing in a puddle. He looked so cold! I said to him, “come in for a drink and get warm.” As we sipped our double whiskeys, I thought I would humor him. I asked him, “how many have you caught today?” He replied, “you’re the 8th!”
