Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon extended emergency authorization for oversize and overweight transport permits for livestock feed and livestock across Wyoming through October 6, citing widespread drought, high temperatures, and wildfires in spring and summer 2026 that have depleted pasture grass and natural forage.
The extended permits, authorized by Executive Order 2026-006, are in response to a critical livestock feed shortage that threatens the state's agricultural sector and general economy, according to the governor's announcement. The order takes effect upon expiration of the previous emergency authorization (Executive Order 2026-005).
