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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $465.77, low $363.10, median $427.78 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
