Western Iowa Precondition Sale. The last auction was not Precondition, comparison is not applicable. Upward trend noted. Two load lots of yearling heifers, over two loads of advertised 1100 lb steers, along with many smaller strings in this light sale today. Market was active, especially on light cattle getting scarce this time of year and load lots/larger strings of yearlings.
