Western Iowa Precondition Sale. No comparison, as the previous sale was not Precondition. Upward trend noted, reflecting the rise in the CME feeder cattle futures this week . The auction consisted of 3 loads of yearling steers from the featured consignment, along with many half loads and smaller strings. Demand was good for this quality offering today.
