27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $482.74, low $360.58, median $428.38 across 27 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.
