WORLAND – Every Thursday at 11 a.m. the Worland Livestock Auction is open for business and it's not unusual to see 100 cattle or steer up for auction. Jim Newby started running the livestock auction in 2008. In 2011 he married Stacy and they've been running it together since. "We are here to support and consign cattle for our smaller producers," Stacy Newby said. Newby said their livestock auction collectively works like this: "The sellers bring their cattle in with the faith in us that we'll ge...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is scheduled to cut power Monday, Feb. 29, to the lights inside the big tunnel on U.S. 14-16-20 west of Cody.

HOUSTON (AP) — Oil prices will more than double by 2020 as current low prices lead drillers to cut investment in new production and gradually reduce the glut of crude, the head of a group of oil-importing countries said Monday. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, said oil would rise gradually to about $80 a barrel. Oil prices shot to more than $100 a barrel in mid-2014 before a long slide sent them crashing below $30 last month. “There was a rise, there will be a fall, and soon there will be a rise again,” Birol...
LARAMIE — He’s started 20 games this season, and only the team’s three leading scorers have started more. Yet, University of Wyoming sophomore post Jonathan Barnes doesn’t have statistics one would expect from a regular starter. He averages 2.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 10.8 minutes per game. However, Barnes’ role and importance to UW (13-15 overall, 6-9 Mountain West) aren’t measured in stats. “He’s a special young man. He means as much to our program as anybody we’ve ever brought in because of his outlook,” sixth-year UW coach Larry Shyatt...
THERMOPOLIS – What a turn of events for the Thermopolis Bobcats. After picking up a 58-43 win over Riverside on Saturday, Thermopolis had to turn around and play the Rebels again on Monday in a play-in game between the bottom two teams in the 2A Northwest to decide who would take the final seed into the 2A West Regional Boys Basketball Tournament this weekend in Riverton. The Bobcats and Rebels meet three times prior during the regular season, with the former defeating the latter in each of thos...
