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

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $332.26, median $380.81 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
