Compared to last week steers and heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Steers over 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers over 600 lbs sold 1.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold sharply higher on the week. Some feeder cattle and slaughter cow receipts shorter than expected at area livestock auctions due to wintery weather. Some areas of the state had a foot of fluffy snow closing highways across a large portion of the state. Many livestock owners continue to look for hay to get them through the winter.

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.
