	Hundredweight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hundred weight or hundredweight is a unit of measurement for mass in both the system of measurement used in the United Kingdom (and previously throughout the British Commonwealth), and in the system used in the United States.
		In Imperial units, a hundredweight ('long') is defined as 112 pounds avoirdupois, or 8 stone, or four quarters.
		In both systems, the hundredweight is abbreviated cwt, where wt is an abbreviation for weight and c is an abbreviation for one hundred (since the Roman numeral C is equal to 100).

	Units: H
		The hundredweight is the English version of a commercial unit used throughout Europe and known in other countries as the quintal or the zentner.
		The British hundredweight was divided into 4 quarters [1] of 28 pounds, 8 stone of 14 pounds, or 16 cloves of 7 pounds each.
		The C in the symbol is of course the Roman numeral 100.

	Rice crop forecast at record
		At a record 107.4 million hundredweight, the Arkansas rice crop is nearly 12 percent larger than a year earlier, a result of both larger plantings and a record yield.
		At 23.7 million hundredweight, the 2004/05 carryin was nearly 12 percent smaller than a year earlier and the smallest since 1999/2000.
		All of the month-to-month and year-to-year decline in imports is for medium/short grain rice.

		Before approximately the 14th century there were two hundredweights in England, one of 100 pounds, and one of 108 pounds, used for wax, sugar, pepper, cinnamon, nutmegs, and so on (see the Tractatus).
		Since a hundredweight is 8 stones, the 100-pound hundredweight became 112 pounds.
		Two states, for example, (Ohio and Nevada) specifically exempted pig iron and iron ore in their laws defining the hundredweight, though the laws do not say what the value of the hundredweight for those commodities should be.

		Table 2 details the operations of the four producers whose purchased feed cost per hundredweight of milk was shown in Table 1.
		It is clear that the initial assumption that Producer D who had lowest purchased feed cost per hundredweight is probably not the most profitable due to low components, high cull rate and utilization of farm-grown soybeans.
		The higher components result in higher pay price per hundredweight of milk and the low cull rate should result in additional revenue from decreased replacement costs because fewer heifers need to be raised.

	Market Advisor: Feeder Cattle Price Situation Update
		Prices for 550-600 pound steers are down about $15 per hundredweight from 2001, with the lighter weight and heavier weight steers down about $10 per hundredweight from a year ago.
		Another rule-of-thumb is that each $1 per hundredweight decline in fed steer prices causes feeder cattle prices to decline by $1.50 per hundredweight.
		So, about $7-8 per hundredweight of the decline in 550-600 pound steers is due to lower fed steer prices and the other $7-8 is due to higher feed costs.

	ACES Publications : ANR-0800
		Because lighter feeder cattle typically sell for a higher price per hundredweight, a price slide was developed to help the buyer and seller avoid over- or under-estimating the actual weight.
		Thus, if the appropriate price slide were $5 per hundredweight and if a $3 slide were used, the seller would lose $3.96 per head, or $277.20 per truckload (seventy head) of feeder cattle.
		The sensitivity of the price slide can be easily seen as you move from a price slide of $1 to $5 per hundredweight for an animal with an estimated pay weight of 700 pounds, an actual pay weight of 670 pounds, and an adjusted weight error of 20 pounds.
