Not enough feeder cattle from last week for a market comparison. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher and bull sold 1.00 higher. Demand was mostly good throughout the week. Bulk of the calves and feeder cattle sold at area auctions were grown through the winter to be turned out on summer range. However, the impeding drought has changed the minds of cattlemen and those ranchers are selling now since the pastures are still very brown. Per NASS, 70 percent of the range or pasture conditions is at poor to very poor. Same week a year ago range conditions was at 42 percent poor to very poor.

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.
