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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $447.90, low $334.47, median $371.00 across 6 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
