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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
