Demand continues to be good to very good for all livestock through auction markets. Near most of the state is out of the drought monitor with just the far west and east sides still in different sectors of dryness. Ample snow in high elevations will build up supplies of water when the runoff starts. Currently the state's Snotels are at 126% of median with the basin high of 165% and the basin low of 107%. Last year the state was at 78% and at 85% in 2021.

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.
