End of federal aid could mean more homeless in Wyoming
CASPER, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) – May is National Beef Month, and in Wyoming cattle is a billion dollar industry.
Agriculture is one of Wyoming’s leading industries. The state is home to 1.2 million head of cattle scattered across nearly 12,000 farms and ranches.
Casper rancher Kelly Burch explains, “Beef is big business. We raise cattle in this country for one reason, and that’s to feed the world.”
Burch says the Wild West is prime cattle country, explaining, “This is the most efficient way of utilizing Western range land. Cattle convert forage to edible protein for human consumption.”
Ranchers send their products all over the country, with Wyoming beef making its way onto dinner plates from coast to coast.
According to the USDA, cattle and calves are ranked as the largest livestock commodity raised in the state.
Though beef is “big business,” it’s much deeper than that for Burch.
He says, “It’s all grassroots. It all starts at family operations. It starts as a kid and you get addicted to it. I was in academia and taught school for 33 years because of my cow addiction. I was in love with cattle as a kid growing up on a Wyoming cattle ranch. You do something that you can support your cow habit and stay in the cattle business. I’m now retired from academia, and the state is willing to pay me to stay home and raise my cows.”

U.S. Gold Corp. has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Gold King Corp., has been issued its Surface Gold Mine Permit, dated 29 April 2024, from the Director of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, subject to certain conditions.
In commenting on the approval, George Bee, President, CEO and Director of U.S. Gold Corp. said, “Having previously been granted the Industrial Siting Permit in June last year and now the Mine Operating Permit we have cleared the major regulatory hurdles towards project development. Work to meet final authorisation for development is well underway. The remaining conditions are the approval of the reclamation bond which has already been submitted, the Wyoming Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WYPDES) permitting process, which is in the final stages of approval, and the WDEQ Air Quality Division (AQD) permits, where technical work is under review. We remain on track to receive the necessary permits around mid-year, as per prior guidance.”
Luke Norman, Executive Chairman of U.S. Gold Corp. added, “This is an outstanding accomplishment. Since shifting the Company’s focus in August 2020 from exploration to the development of the CK Gold Project, through the receipt of the Mine Operating Permit, is a remarkable achievement. We would like to recognise our management team, consultants, and the State of Wyoming regulatory authorities for everyone’s hard work and dedication advancing the CK Gold Project. The CK Gold Project sits on State and private ground in Wyoming, which is an extraordinary jurisdiction for resource development, with a clear regulatory framework, and authorities that are knowledgeable, experienced, and motivated to safely and responsibly manage the State’s mineral wealth.”
