As filed

Compared with last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady . There was a good crowd on hand today for strings and mostly packages of preconditioned bawling calves. Trade today was good with demand moderate to good throughout the sale with some bidding from the internet. Crawford's next sale will be the Tri State Bred cow and heifer sale November 15.
