A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
This barn's trailing prices 700–800 lb
8 sales
Heifers 700–800 lb: high $355.47, low $315.33, median $338.97 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
Nothing removed and nothing rounded — the same lots as the USDA report, with per-head values added. Grouped by class and set lightest first; USDA files them in sale-ring order.
