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

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $430.48, low $328.30, median $391.99 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
