[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1601207, member: 498"] One spring I was at Toppenish (eastern Washington) and 5 frosted ear or tail heifers came in. A trader I know from the west side of the state bought them cheap. The very next day I was at Chehalis (western Washington). Those frosted ear heifers came through the ring. The climate there is warmer and you just never see frosted ear calves. Being in the spring the backyarders were there buying their one or two calves to fatten over the summer. They sold those heifers for over double what they brought in Toppenish. One thing about a frosted ear cow. They seem to bring just as much as a kill cow as a cow with intact ears. Funny how that works. The packers must not have a big market for cow ears. [/QUOTE]
