Special Calf & Yearling Sale. No comparison, as the previous sale was Western Iowa Precondition. The auction consisted of five loads, several half loads and many smaller packages. Light cattle were limited. CME feeder cattle futures 8.00 lower today, making demand a bit sluggish at times. Replacement heifers were popular, bringing a premium.
