Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 higher. Demand was good throughout the week. Several strings of feeders that usually sell on the summer video sales came through the auction this week as most pasture or range conditions are not very good. Per NASS, only 19% of the range is listed at good condition. Places east of Casper or I 25 are showing the most signs of drought this week with extreme drought in and around Platte and Goshen counties.

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.
