Compared to last week steers under 500 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, 500 to 750 lbs steers sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher and over 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Heifers under 650 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher and over 650 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 2.00 higher. Bred cows and heifers sold unevenly steady to weak. Demand was good for light weight calves suited for summer turnout. Moderate for yearling feeder cattle and bred cows and heifers. Several areas of the state have snow and some cattlemen are not in the mood to procure more bred cows at this time. With the added pressures from Mother Nature some ranchers hope they have enough roughage sources on hand to get their herds tied over till summer grass. Quite a lot of the hay gets shipped out of state and if ranchers do not have is reserved or bought they may be out of luck later in the spring trying to buy additional feed.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Wyoming barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
