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

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.03, low $326.28, median $367.12 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
