Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Feeder cattle are continuing to advance this week despite rising grain prices with supply/demand dymanics predicted to increasingly favor cattle sellers into the back half of 2022 and beyond. Just an average quality feeder offering this week but with good condition for the most part.
