BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Drought-stricken cattle ranchers in Wyoming are looking to surrounding states for grazing land, and their best bet might be North Dakota, where farmers this year have been luckier than their neighbors.

In comparison, less than half of South Dakota’s pasture and rangeland is doing that well.
