Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $380.31, median $427.30 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

How this sale compares

Missouri weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
