Compared to last week calves and feeder cattle sold sharply higher on the week. Slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher however, slaughter bulls sold 6.00 lower. Demand was very good for calves and feeders with good demand for slaughter and feeding cows. Like a broken record, hay producers still have ample tonnage of hay sitting around waiting for someone to demand ownership of it. Even with the dryness across the state, hay sales have been slow to transpire last year and so far this year.

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.
