Wyoming Livestock Value Soars to Near Hundred Million
The report by Fred L. Thompson, secretary of the state livestock board, says Wyoming’s livestock industry is in excellent health. Cattle number 2,794 with value over 26 million, horses 161,104 at about 4.5 million, sheep 2,708,175 valued at 10 million, plus smaller totals. Total value 1910 is listed at 40 million, but a more likely figure sits between 90 and 100 million due to underreporting. Farmers anticipate tighter herd management and more intensive handling, with many stockmen buying feed for winter and reducing large bands to improve care and grade.
