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

3 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $520.54, low $384.03, median $476.25 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
