It was a light run today but good quality, not enough data to call an accurate trend but looked mostly steady.

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

7 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $291.80, median $341.74 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
