Compared to last week calves and yearlings sold unevenly steady. On comparable offerings of bred females sold steady and slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to weak. Demand was good for calves, feeders, bred females and feeding cows going back to the country. Moderate demand for slaughter cows. Large numbers of all classes of slaughter type cows and bulls continue to make their way to town. Ranchers are cutting herd numbers back as far as they can and still have enough a large enough calf crop to pay all the expenses to stay in business. Abrupt cold snap blew into the region this week. Daytime highs in the 60’s is a thing of the past as highs are now in the 30’s. But a quick glance at the calendar does say December!

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.
