Wyoming has two major Natural Resources: beef-based agriculture and mining.

Apart from cattle, Wyoming is home to a considerable number of sheep and other livestock animals. In fact, there is more cattle than people: 2010 census of Wyoming totaled 563,626 people, while there were approximately 1.2 million cows in Wyoming in 2002. It's safe to assume there are still more cattle than Wyomingites today.

In terms of mining, Wyoming has considerable deposits of coal, copper, iron ore, gypsum, and gold. Uranium has also been found in Powder, Shirley and Wind River Basins, and oil has been found in Salt Creek Valley since 1883.
