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

3 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $1,495.95, low $230.37, median $463.58 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
