First reported sale in several weeks a market trend is not applicable. Friday's run comprised of ranch raised, longtime weaned calves with fall vaccinations and poured. Several lots of bangs vaccinated heifers sold in the mix. Large crowd of buyers in house and on the internet bid readily from start to finish. Next week will be a special bred heifer and cow sale. Crawford held an inhouse video auction on Friday and it maybe viewed at this link https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3412.pdf
