___________________________________________________________________________________

Today we had a nice run of hay and straw. We also had very good buyer attendance. The bedding market was lower today. Alfalfa was steady to lower with the quality above average. The grass sold steady to stronger with the quality being much higher than normal. The lower quality of grass was the strongest.

REMINDER: We will NOT be having a sale next week Thursday. We will be too busy eating turkey, and hope you will be too! We will still be having our Monday as normal. Happy Thanksgiving!

A married couple are out one night at a dance club. There’s a guy on the dance floor really busting the moves: break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works. The wife turns to her husband and says, “See that guy? Twenty years ago he proposed to me, and I turned him down.” The husband says, “Looks like he’s still celebrating!”

A cowboy rode into town & stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals had a habit of picking on strangers. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back inside flipped his gun, caught it above his head & fired. “Which one of you stole my horse?! I’m going to have another beer & if my horse ain’t back outside by the time I’m finished I’m going to do what I dun in Texas & I don’t like to do what I dun in Texas!” True to his word after his beer he went outside, & his horse was returned. As he was riding away the bartender ran out & asked, “What happened in Texas?” The cowboy turned back and said... “I had to walk home.”
