Western Iowa Preconditioned Calf & Yearling Sale. Compared to the sale last Thursday, light steers 650-750 lbs 5.00-8.00 higher. Heavier steers 800-900 lbs 9.00 higher. Light heifers 600-700 sharply higher. Heifers 750-800 lbs 8.00-12.00 higher. Condition was good on the cattle today. Numerous load lots of mostly 700-800 lb steers and heifers in the offering, along with plenty of smaller packages. Good demand, creating a strong market.
