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
9 sales
Heifers 500–600 lb: high $470.19, low $382.75, median $430.00 across 9 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.
No comparison. Demand was moderate, due to the board the last few days.

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.
