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

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $405.91, low $315.56, median $369.35 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
