Today the market was lower again. The wet week caused all hay to look very poor. Demand was weak & so was the general mood at the auction.
 Remember, NO Auction on July 3rd!! The next auction is July 10 at 12:30 pm.

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.

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?”
