Today the auction was very small. Not much of a test but seems like the hay sold stronger on a very limited test. Monday the 28th is our last Monday auction, starting in May we will only have Thursday auctions.

Today the market was mostly steady. The buyers are looking for the very good hay. They do not have much interest in the average and poorer hay. Bedding sold steady.

There was an older couple was at McDonald’s splitting a meal to share. Gary wondered if they couldn’t afford to purchase two meals, so he offered to buy them another meal. The man said no, we share everything. Awhile later an employee went to their table and asked if everything was ok after noticing the woman still wasn’t eating... she said oh no, we share everything. I’m waiting for the teeth!
