Compared to last week steer calves under 500 lbs and heifer calves under 600 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Heavier weights of steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower all on a thin test. Slaughter and feeder cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good throughout the week. Artic air across the state held back some cattle from the sales but it didn't deter buyers from participating especially on the grass type cattle. Also, demand for bred stock was good, especially on the short term cows.

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.
