___________________________________________________
Today we had a nice buying crowd and much better quality hay in. The better grass sold well, the average quality was steady. The alfalfa was mostly steady on the same quality. Bedding was lower today.
Note: Our auctions are held every Thursday at 12:30 pm at our new location mentioned below.
The Rock Valley Hay Auction CO. is happy to announce that our new location is at 3110 Eagle Ave Rock Valley, IA.

After the first day of preschool a mother asked her son what he learned. He said numbers & then she asked him which ones. He told her, “You know mom, the ones you yell when you’re mad at me!”

The alfalfa sold uneven but generally steady. The quality was only about average on most loads. The grass quality was largely average at best and sold steadily to stronger, with the buyers very picky on quality. The crowd size was good, and we had a nice sale at our new location. Thank you all for your patience with us over the last two and half months.
The Rock Valley Hay Auction CO. is happy to announce that our new location is at 3110 Eagle Ave Rock Valley, IA.

A man, his wife & mother-in-law took a trip to the Holy Land. While there, the mother-in-law died... The undertaker said you can have her shipped home for $5,000 or you can bury her here for only $150. The man thought about it & decided to ship her home. The undertaker asked why he wouldn’t save money and bury her there. The man replied, “a man died here 2,000 years ago & 3 days later he arose from the dead. I can’t take that kind of chance!”

I saw a homeless man & asked him if I gave him $20 would he buy beer? He said no he hadn’t had a beer in years. Then I asked him if I gave you $20 will you buy car parts? He said no, he got rid of his racecar 15 years ago. So, then I said I’ll do you better than $20.. I’ll take you home & get you all cleaned up; my wife will cook a fantastic meal for you then I’ll bring you back & still give you $20! He asked me, “won’t she get mad?” I said it didn’t matter. I just wanted her to see what happens to a man when he stops drinking & building race cars.
