More Wyomingites Are Buying Beef From Ranchers

Jacky Wright last bought beef from a grocery store nine years ago.

She didn’t go vegetarian and didn’t have a beef with a supermarket.

She noticed a difference in taste.

Wright is part of a growing movement of consumers in the state who are buying their steaks, roasts, burgers and other cuts of meat directly from a rancher.

Wright knows a lot about the food she’s putting into her body. She leases 140 acres of land in Thermopolis to a ranching family that grows the cattle that she eats.
