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

3 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $205.37, low $178.07, median $198.82 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
