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 $411.51, low $332.98, median $377.79 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
