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

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.69, low $301.40, median $384.12 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
