Around here-the bull sales have been higher than last yr.,but have also heard that some of them got soft  half way thru. I don't think they are too high priced because of all that goes into keeping those calves and getting them ready for bulls. I went to a angus sales last week and got several bulls and paid $250 to $500 more per hd than last yr. at the same breeders sale. To each their own. I admire Soapweeds operation and bull buying ways-that would be the way to do it with a large herd.
