Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.62, low $353.31, median $437.74 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Oklahoma auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
