Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher. A few steers over 600 lbs sold with a lower undertone. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to firm with weights over 600 lbs not tested. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand good. Light receipts with mud in the area. Feeder futures were lower again Tuesday as grains and oil continue higher. Slaughter cows are defying gravity so far in 2022, moving sharply higher despite larger cow kills.
