     Compared last Friday, Supreme/ Premium Dosmetic Alfalfa steady in a light 
test. Export and feeder Alfalfa weak in a light test as exporters try to work 
thru old inventory before new crop. Trade remains slow this week and expected to 
stay slow till new crop. Demand remains light to moderate. Most feedlots report 
inventory supplies out into July. Hay brokers are receiving more interest in 
producers selling feeder hay as market continues to weaken. Feed store/retail
