THanks for all the help...the CWT is what I was having problems with... I unbderstand the rest. THere is actually a link to different auction reports in this web page. I just didn't understand how to read it. Thanks again for all your help. I don't value my cattle as much as the next person...

I am trying to figure out what cattle are selling for in different parts of Texas..How do I read that report. I have a 500 lb heifer and a 1100 lb steer that I want to sell, but have no idea what they are going for right now. Where can I go to figure out how to read the reports? Thanks, Jon

OK, so I am brand new to cattle. I have a few acres and my in-laws do, so we rotate a few head between our land. I have a steer ready to slaughter, but have no idea where to look for a butcher. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have asked some neighbors that have cattle, but it seems like...
