Not much really............I think you left out part of the report...........do you know what is missing that I believe is relevant in order to answer your question. Thanks in advance.

Not very hard, the 300-400 lb steers brought from $115 to $142 a hundred pound which is the same as 1.15 to 1.42 per pound. Same with the other classes the first part is the weight range and the second part is price per hundred pound.

So it' basically a "lowest" price up to he "highest price paid for those weights.

Good morning. Your report doesn't show total cows....I suppose it got lopped off when you pasted.

Seems the sales around here always say "no test" when there is not enough cattle to have a real "market".

usually in a quote like that your lighter calves will bring more per lb and your heavier calves will bring the lower price

Yep

Sometimes the lower number is the average price, not necessarily the lowest price, the larger number is always the top of the market though.
