Assessor Comments
A very good line of 233 Crossbred cows and 222 Santa cross calves with cows expected to continue calving. These are breeder-type cows doing an excellent job on their calves while maintaining strong condition, providing a very good trading opportunity or to calve down and keep the calves. Cows do range from 2yrs to 14yrs (with 70% being 9 to 14yrs). Some cows with older calves may have reconciled prior to bull removal in March. Calves sampled at 55% male, 45% female — approx. 60 branded/marked; remainder NLIS tagged at delivery. An additional 45 heavier cows with younger calves (avg. 620kg curfew) were not assessed but may be included. Final numbers may vary slightly; springers or very small calves will not be trucked. Please also note the slight faults being down or capped hips, 2 dog bites, 3 loose horns, on cow has no tail. Please do not hesitate to contact assessor if you have any questions.
