Today the market was mostly steady. Alfalfa was a little stronger and grass sold slightly lower. The bedding sold mainly steady with more interest in the better quality than the average and lower quality. There remains about 1-2 weeks left of cutting silage before most will be complete. Auctions every Thursday at 12:30.
