With much warmer weather compared to our previous Auction 3 weeks ago, everyone was ready to move hay.  We had one of the larger volume auctions we have had for quit a while.  The Big bales volume was close to double what our volume is certain times of the year.

With the large volume, we saw prices lower on Big rounds and Big Square bales. Small Squares were still really strong for the nice mixed hay, Alfalfa and Straw. 

      Want to remind people the prices we report sometimes have a wide range, this is reflecting bales size and quality.  We sometimes see a wide variation in bale sizes.  Generally speaking our round bales are usually 5x5 rounds with an average weight of around 1200 lbs.  Most of the big squares we sell or 3x3's and are usually 6-7' feet long (650-700 lbs)
