I went to the stock cow sale in Toppenish yesterday. Prices were higher than a year ago. I would guess that they probably had over 2,000 bred heifers and cows. Bred heifers were $1,600 to $1,800. There was one group of 100 heifers. They would gate cut 10 or more. If I remember correctly the high bid was either $1,825 or $1,850. The auctioneer asked the guy how many he wanted. The buyer let out a very audible sigh, that I could hear half way accross the ring, and said he would take 40. That is pretty good check to write. But there were plenty of big checks written by the end of that sale.
