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

4 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $188.97, low $174.95, median $183.08 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
