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

13 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $521.41, low $412.85, median $496.19 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
