18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $493.55, low $319.09, median $394.00 across 18 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.
