The city of Casper is the second largest in the state of Wyoming with approximately 50,000 people. Originally, Casper was a ranching town that flourished with the large sheep and cattle ranches of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Ranching and agriculture are still very important to the economic, cultural and environmental well-being of the community. Beef is the largest and most important agricultural product and alfalfa hay is the most important crop grown.
