Two guys are walking through a game park & they come across a lion that has not eaten for days. The lion starts chasing the two men. They run as fast as they can and the one guy starts getting tired and decides to say a prayer, "Please turn this lion into a Christian, Lord." He looks to see if the lion is still chasing, and he sees the lion on its knees. Happy to see his prayer answered, he turns around and heads towards the lion. As he comes closer to the lion, he hears it saying a prayer: "Thank you Lord for the food I am about to receive."

Today we had a large volume of hay with the good weather, which also allowed a lot of buyers to come. However the good weather deceased the consumption/demand for hay. As a result, the market was noticeably lower in all classes. Auctions every Monday and Thursday.
