Eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska report near average moisture conditions from recent rains and snow. Western South Dakota above normal. Snow pack in south central Wyoming near 100 percent. Compared to a year ago grazing fee prices steady to 1.00 higher. A moderate supply of grazing land continues under lease contracts, therefore, no recent prices are available.
Lease contracts are on a per month basis or per pound of gain basis where specified.
Final report for 2001. Generally the high end of the price range requires landlords to maintain fences, check windmills, cattle, etc. While on the lower end of the price range cattle owners are responsible for these services. Sheep to cattle pasture ratios are usually 6 to 1.
