As filed

This was Crawford's first calf sale of the year so no trend will be given. There was a good crowd on hand today for good strings and packages of mainly preconditioned calves coming straight off the cow. Trade today was good with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale with some bidding from the internet. Crawford's next sale will be a special calf sale, expecting over 7000 head October 11 with weigh up cattle selling on Thursday October 10.
