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

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $470.19, low $382.75, median $430.95 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
