Compared to last week steers under 800 lbs sold unevenly steady and over 800 lbs sold 10.00 higher. Only weights of heifers with a good comparison were 600 to 800 lbs and those sold steady to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold sharply higher on the day. Bred cows with many dispersals sold also sold sharply higher throughout the sale. Right now, the game is let's get them bought, the grass will come, and this market could get crazy high this fall or even into next year. Nobody knows for sure, but the cattle market could set new record highs like it did roughly 10 years ago.

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.
