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

Bulls 300–400 lb: high $571.92, low $436.84, median $482.77 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Mississippi weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Mississippi auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
