Comment on Fat Score 1 Cattle
Heifers are strong and healthy with no concerns trucking over long distances. store condition with minimal fat cover due to the season. heifers had also been in yards on hay with 5mm of rain on them the night before assessment. showing no signs of ill health and as stated would have no concerns trucking long distance. heifers would however benefit from a spell if plunge dipping and trucking greater than 800kms.

First trip through the yards at assessment. as could be expected a large percentage of heifers turned around in the race & baulked at the weighbox. All heifers received a Dectomax injectable upon assessment which contributed to the pressure applied. Generally handled very Well working through the larger yards & forcing yard well. once assessed heifers settled easily & comfortably. As expected with fresh weaners sudden movements did cause heifers to take fright however settled easily afterwards

Assessor Comments
3 decks of VGQ quality, Vendor bred heifers ideal as future breeders or trade heifers. Heifers are out of a highly functional herd of Santa & Santa Cross cows based on Drensmaine and Canowindra Santa genetics with a percentage by Rondel and Powermac Droughtmaster, small percentage showing Senepol & Charolais cross from past breeding programs. Heifers are calendar year branded #1's and all 6-9months in age. Heifers are in a light store condition and have plenty of compensatory gain in them with ample bone and frame throughout the mob. 100% weighed at assessment to average 178kg. 16% 110-150kg, 61% 151-200kg and 23% 200kg+ these heifers have a very good reputation in the marketplace and are well known as excellent feed on cattle & heavy slaughter animals. 12 "cleanskin" heifers included in this line received a brand & NLIS tag at assessment however have not been de-horned. A great opportunity to purchase a line of high quality Santa Heifers that are light weight and ready to fire ahead
