Compared to last week not enough feeder cattle for a market comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Demand was moderate to good for all lightly reported transactions. Dry weather pattern continues in most of the central and eastern areas of the state. Last week snotel reported 98% of the median with the basin high of 106% and basin low of 36%. Last year the state was at 98%, and at 123% in 2023. So, most irrigation districts should be in good shape for the 2025 growing season.

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.
