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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $319.98, median $368.98 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
