DTN COMMENTS: The country is very quiet this afternoon and it looks like 
business is essentially done for the week. Although a little cleanup trade 
may be on Mandatory reports later this afternoon. This week live deals in 
Kansas and Texas have been marked at mostly $140, roughly $3 to $4.50 higher 
than last week's weighted averages. Dresses transactions in Nebraska and 
Iowa have been at mostly $229 to $230, about $2 to $3 higher than last 
week's weighted average basis Nebraska.

Today's slaughter totaled 118,000 head, 3,000 more than last week, and 2,000 
above last year. Saturday's kill is estimated at 33,000 head, bringing the 
weekly total to 647,000 head, 4,000 below the prior week, but 11,000 greater 
than 2021. Live cattle futures closed mixed, mostly modestly lower to 
modestly higher, off 60 to up 5 (deferred fared better than nearbys), while 
feeder contracts ended the day moderately to sharply lower, off 32 to 145.
