Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter and feeding cows sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher and bulls sold 8.00 higher. Demand was good instances very good. Some cattlemen are starting to sell summer grass cattle as moisture has been limited and some irrigation districts have already put restrictions on the days of available water this summer. Wide spread rains across the state would be very beneficial.

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.
