Wyoming Ranchers Selling Off Cattle As Drought Tightens Grip Across State
Wyoming’s largest livestock marketing company sold 9,000 head of cattle in a special drought sale on May 13 when it typically sells 400-700 head a week. Grass is scarce, and feed supplies are tightening.

Of course, the #GOP #PartyOfStupid blames it on "the radical left's ongoing assault against ranching as a way of life, using climate alarmism to wage a war on cattle in America."

Whether you're selling a horse, moving a herd across county lines, or sending cattle to slaughter, Utah law requires documented proof of ownership before those animals go anywhere.
