   Compared to last Friday, all grades of Alfalfa dosmetic and export steady. 
Timothy not tested this week.  Trade slow to moderate this week as export and 
dosmetic buyers remain cautious.  Demand remains moderate to good on Alfalfa, very 
light on Timothy as producers are having a hard time getting any firm offers.  Many 
producers are cutting 4th. Feed store/retail hay steady.  All prices are dollars 
per ton and FOB the farm or ranch unless otherwise stated.
