How we sell livestock and how they are displayed on the market report:

When cattle are sold by the cwt (hundredweight), you’re looking at a per-100-lb price. To calculate the total value of an animal, divide its weight in pounds by 100, then multiply by the cwt price.

For example, a 430-lb steer at $400/cwt brings: 

430lb÷100×$400 = $1,720 per head.

When livestock are sold by the head, you’re shown a flat price per animal and it reflects what the animal sold for per head, the the livestock are not sold on a per weight basis.
