 Today we had a larger run. The market was steady on alfalfa and weaker on the grass. The alfalfa quality varied but the grass quality was mostly mid to lower quality. The demand seems to be backing off. Auctions every Monday & Thursday at 12:30 PM.

A teacher wanted to teach her students about self-esteem, so she asked anyone who thought they were stupid to stand up. One kid stood up and the teacher was surprised. She didn’t think anyone would stand up so she asked him, “Why did you stand up?” He answered, “I didn’t want to leave you standing up by yourself.”
