Western Iowa Precondition Sale. No comparison, as the last sale was not Precondition. Several large strings of both calves and yearlings, along with plenty of smaller packages of mostly calves in the offering today. Good demand both online and in the arena. The next feeder sale is December 6, Western Iowa Precondition Sale.

17 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.43, low $368.70, median $465.10 across 17 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
