Limited sales last week for a market comparison. However, a sharply higher undertone was noted on this calves and feeder sales. Compared to two weeks ago slaughter and feeding cows sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher instances 10.00 higher on lean cows, with slaughter bulls trading steady. Demand was very good for light weight calves with several loads going to graze out in California for the winter. Some heading to the southern plains for wheat grazing. Quite a few, younger cows going back to feed or into a rebreed program. Hopefully Mother Nature will bring some much-needed moisture to the area so ranchers can keep ahold of their lively hood of ranching. Still ample hay stocks on hand with prices firming up a tick as demand has picked up.

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.
