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

This sale against other markets
Virginia weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Virginia auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
