Do you or have you ever lived in Wyoming?
It would be very hard for Wyoming to produce enough food for just its current population. Despite what others will tell you, Wyoming is a Energy state, not a agro state. (And I am from a Ranch Family).
Even the homestead act had to make an exception to give more land to homesteaders because you needed ~3x more land per cow to sustain your herd.
There are some parts of Wyoming that have good growing seasons but for the most part it really is a rough state.
So yeah, Raising food or animals would absolutely be an issue for most of the state. Maybe not where you might be (if you are in Wyoming) but for the rest of the place.. absolutely.
Also, if you are not from Wyoming. Please dont move to Wyoming. (not you specifically, just a general statement).
