Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs sold sharply lower, 600 to 800 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Most lots of yearling steers sold 4.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs sold 4.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifers from 600 to 800 lbs sold sharply lower and over 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows going to directly to the plant sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 lower and feeding cows returning to the country sold 5.00 to 7.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Most of the sharp decline on the calf market would be on offering with only branding time shots. Buyers continue to be selective and really pay attention to the vaccinations, especially on the fall vaccination protocol. Cold temps prevailed at the end of the week with some snow at high and low elevations.

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.
