Western Livestock Journal

The Western Livestock Journal (WLJ) is a weekly livestock industry newspaper. Originally called the Farm and Ranch Market Journal, it was started by Nelson R. Crow in 1922. WLJ is published by Crow Publications, Inc.

History

The Farm and Ranch Market Journal became Western Livestock Journal in the early 1930s. In 1952, Nelson purchased Livestock Magazine from the Biggs family in Denver, CO. The two weeklies were combined in the ’70s to create one national edition of Western Livestock Journal and the monthly magazine was re-named Livestock Magazine, and split into three editorial editions. Livestock Magazine ceased publication in the early ’80s.

Today

WLJ continues to publish weekly from its location in Greenwood Village, CO and is mailed to its subscribers in locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
