Special Calf & Yearling Sale. No comparison, as the previous sale was a Western Iowa Precondition sale. Several load lots of yearlings, along with two loads of replacement heifers, and many strings of smaller groups in the offering. Demand was highest on the replacement heifers, a featured consignment today.
