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

24 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $490.86, low $333.49, median $421.46 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
