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

26 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $311.07, low $220.42, median $245.78 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
