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

25 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
