On a smaller run the market was mostly steady. We had a good buying crowd that was cautious. The November 28 (Thanksgiving Day) auction will be cancelled. There will be an auction on Monday, November 25 and Monday, December 2.

Reminder: Monday auctions begin November 4th. After that we will conduct two auctions per week.

A boy is selling fish on a corner. To get his customers' attention, he yelled, "Dam fish for sale! Get your dam fish here!" A pastor hears this and asks, "Why are you calling them 'dam fish.'" The boy responds, "Because I caught these fish at the local dam." The pastor buys a couple fish, takes them home to his wife, and asks her to cook the dam fish. The wife responds surprised, "I didn't know it was acceptable for a preacher to speak that way." He explains to her why they are dam fish. Later at the dinner table, he asks his son to pass the dam fish. He responds, "That's the spirit, Dad! Now pass the f*king potatoes!"

A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Skeptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'"

Today the alfalfa and grass sold mostly steadily. The better-quality alfalfa is gaining momentum. We had a nice buying crowd today and most buyers were fairly aggressive.
We lost a friend & former employee, Tim Juzek on Monday. We ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks

Reminder: Monday auctions begin November 4th. After that we will conduct two auctions per week.
