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

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.50, low $316.45, median $382.77 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
