12 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $220.68, low $178.54, median $206.51 across 12 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.
