Assessor Comments
Offering a quality line of 84 British bred and crossbred flatback steers. The steers were 371kg live at assessment. The steers were weighed into a range from 340kg to 442 kg and a sample of the lead steers were mouthed with all showing milk teeth. The steers are all purchased in cattle from southern feature weaner sales ex Wodonga in April 2025. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase a large line of soft British and crossbred flatback steers that are in a tight weight range with plenty of compensatory gain for the purchaser. Please note 3 head were sighted with old blight scarring at assessment. Also note there are another 6 decks of Angus steers in the sale from the same vendor.
