Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last trended sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 higher, Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand good. Supply moderate. Several large consignments of good quality cattle to start the year. The feeder market has advanced from where we ended 2021 although enthusiasm has been dampened some by higher corn and a fed slaughter pace that has come up short so far this week.
