Good crowd for the first Western Iowa Precondition Sale of the season! Light offering today, with many groups of calves 700 pounds and lighter. No comparison, as the last auction was not Precondition. Good demand on the larger groups of cattle, moderate demand on calves in smaller quantities. Active trade.
