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

15 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $471.50, low $344.79, median $413.57 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
