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

33 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $498.89, low $344.78, median $449.57 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
