Western Iowa Precondition Calf/Yearling Sale. Many load lots of quality cattle today. Compared to last week lightweight steers were steady to 2.00 higher, 800 pound steers steady to 2.00 lower. Lightweight heifers, 600 pounds were mostly 3.00-5.00 higher, 700 pounds 1.00 lower. Demand good for the moderate offerings. Trading active.
