OPINION

LANSING, Judge.

On appeal from the denial of posttrial motions in a livestock conversion action, we revisit the issue of punitive damages for property injury and review the jury determinations on liability and compensatory damages. We reverse and remand the entry of JNOV on punitive damages and affirm the district court's denial of JNOV on liability and its denial of JNOV, a new trial, or remittitur on compensatory damages.
