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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $464.87, low $331.47, median $403.69 across 11 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

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