DTN livestock analyst ShayLe Stewart outlines bullish and bearish factors for the 2022 feeder cattle market, citing beef cow slaughter, supply and demand dynamics, and uncertainty from Russia's war in Ukraine, western drought, corn prices, feedlot cost of gains, and inflation. The piece is an outlook commentary rather than a single new event.
