Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower and bulls sold steady, Few, fresh bawling calves continue to come to the market a few months earlier than normal. Quite a lot of preg checked open heifers hitting the market along with some short term bred cows. Some ranchers would keep short term cows around but with very high hay prices and very short winter grazing the financial decision was made to sell them.

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.
