Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This was Crawford's first sale in three weeks so no trend will be given. There was a good crowd on hand today for good strings and packages of feeder type cattle as well as replacement type heifers. Both trade and demand was good with a higher undertone noted. Crawford's next sale will be a special feeder calf and bred cow and pair sale May 3.
