Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady with most of the cows going back to a feedlot. Some of the bawling calves had two rounds of vaccinations and buyers were seeking those consignments that did have those vaccinations. Most auctions has several buyers on the seats with an active internet noted. Quite a few open cows or late breds coming to the market due to the lingering drought and high feed cost across the state. Some rain showers along with a few inches of snow in various areas.

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.
