Slaughter cows sold steady except lean cows and slaughter bull sold 2.00 higher. Not enough comparable bred cows and pairs last week for a market comparison. Demand was moderate to good throughout the week. With most areas of the state dry, ranch managers continue to liquidate some of their cow herds and pairs.

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.
