[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1137207, member: 14713"] A 5wt calf weighs 500 or more pounds. (lbs) More than a 4wt calf, but less than a 6wt calf. ;-) cwt is an abbreviation for hundredweight, which is the price per 100 lbs of calf. Most livestock destined for feeder and slaughter livestock is sold on the basis of weight and so many $ per cwt. In general, lighter livestock sells for more $$$ per hundredweight than heavier livestock. Breeding stock male and female is mostly sold on a per head basis. Also very light young and newborn calves sold seperately from the mama cow are sold on a per head basis rather than cwt. HTH [/QUOTE]
