4 sales

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $358.50, low $309.46, median $343.46 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
