Special Calf & Yearling Sale. No comparison today. as the last sale was a Western Iowa Preconditioned sale. Most of the sale consisted of load lots and half loads of both calves and yearlings. Plenty of smaller strings in the offering also. Demand was good throughout the sale. Next sale is April 15th, Special Calf & Yearling Sale.
