As filed

This is 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 weaned and preconditioned calves as well as replacement type heifers. Trade today was good with demand being good as well with bidding from the internet and a stronger undertone noted. Crawford's next sale will be a special Bred cow and heifer sale January 17.
