Today was Hay Day 2024, thank you to all who participated. The alfalfa and grass quality was much better than previous sales and the prices reflected that. Bedding was mostly weak today with large discounts on damaged bedding. Reminder that we only have 4 Monday auctions left this year.

On a fishing trip to a remote lake in Northern Quebec, I asked the outfitter, “Do you stay here during the winter?” “No,” he said. “The snow gets too deep. We can’t get supplies in. Like many Canadians, I go south for the winter.” “Oh,” I said. “Where do you go?” “The Rock Valley Hay Auction in Iowa.”
