Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This was Crawfords first sale in three weeks so no trend will be given. There was a good crowd crowd on hand today for strings as well as packages of yearling type calves coming off of grass as well as some pregged open heifers. Trade today was moderate with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Crawfords next sale will be a special feeder sale August 23.
