Western Iowa Precondition Sale. No comparison, as the previous sale was not Precondition. The auction consisted of three load lots, many half loads and smaller packages. CME feeder cattle futures dropping 3.00 today. Steers showing a lower trend with mostly lower numbers this week. Upward trend in heifers with limited numbers over 700 lbs. Flesh condition also determining price today. Decent crowd in the arena, after a winter storm passed through the area yesterday. Demand good, especially with advertised replacement heifers and light calves.
