Reading a cattle market report

Visual buyer guides built for the sale barn, the pasture, and the sale book.

Start with the sale date, location, cattle class, and weight band. Match like with like. Prices quoted per pound and per hundredweight are different units; never combine them without confirming and converting the source. A reported high, a range, and a weighted average describe different things. Keep each definition visible.

Free SCI reference. General buying preparation.
