Western Iowa Preconditioned Sale. CME feeder cattle futures 5.00 higher. Compared to the sale last Thursday, light steers 600-750 lbs were sharply higher, as supply is getting narrow. Light heifers 600-650 lbs were 2.00 to sharply higher. Heifers 700-750 lbs were steady to 1.00 lower. Several load lots of both steers and heifers in the offering today, including a couple loads of yearlings. Many smaller packages of mostly light cattle. Demand was good.
