This was Crawford's first calf sale in three weeks so no trend will be given. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for mainly packages of weaned and unweaned calves with one string of yearlings as well as a big run of harvest cows and bulls. Trade today was light with demand being light to moderate with some bidding from the internet. Crawford's next sale will be a special yearling sale August 9.
