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

12 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $406.51, low $313.86, median $346.10 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
