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

25 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $265.98, low $209.68, median $240.39 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
