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 500–600 lb
10 sales
Steers 500–600 lb: high $495.00, low $431.85, median $461.67 across 10 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.

Nebraska weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Nebraska auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
No comparison. Demand was good to moderate today, with a nice selection of feeders offered.
