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

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $408.96, low $303.72, median $369.37 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
