Typically results are published or reported based on hundred weight. This means how much did the cow sell for based on a hundred pounds. So if a calf sells for $123 that means for every hundred pounds the calf brings $123. A 500 pound calf would sell for $615 at this rate. You can easily convert this by treating it as $1.23 per pound. The futures market were cattle are traded and the price is set is reported per pound. I don't know why sale barns report on hundred weight unless it has to do with selling to packing houses. Typically the name of the person or business selling the animal will be listed along with a brief description. Sometimes the weight is also reported. Typical categories are steers, heifers, cull cows, and canner bulls.
