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 600–700 lb
8 sales
Steers 600–700 lb: high $446.43, low $391.49, median $409.55 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.

Compared to two weeks ago, on comparable offerings of 800 to 900 lbs steers sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Demand was good. Nice selection of yearlings coming off native grass on hand Tuesday.
