[QUOTE="Dave, post: 958143, member: 498"] Toppenish is generally about 20 cents higher. I know a guy who makes a living buying here, hauling them over the hill, and selling at Toppenish. Centralia has been shut down for 4 or 5 years. Chehalis is the only sale left in SW Washington. The Chehalis yard can only handle 400-500 head. I have been to Toppenish when they had over 3,000 head. So they get more buyers and the big volume buyers. The commission is less at Toppenish. I figured it out a couple years ago. With everything figured in; trucking, feed, commission, etc, it cost me a penny a pound more to ship and sell at Toppenish than to sell at Chehalis. There are trucks bringing butcher cows over from Toppenish to Walt's in Woodland nearly every day. We put together a pot load for their back haul. I always ship weaned calves and send them the day before the sale. That way they go to the feed bunk and fill back up before selling. It saves a bunch on shrink. [/QUOTE]
