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

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
