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

4 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $299.90, low $143.00, median $280.54 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
