These were very good to handle in all areas of the yards. They marched up the race very well and most were steady on the weighing platform, a few jumped about a fraction. They were also good to handle in the bigger yards but like all cattle need to be steadied through gateways and stood up well during photographing. Buyer advised to settle these steers on arrival before letting them go out of the yards. These are very good to handle on horses in the paddock.

Assessor Comments
Buyers, here are 6 decks of yearling steers that are PCAS ELIGIBLE and being offered in two B-Doubles and will be delivered in even lots . Present in mainly store condition, they will offer buyers plenty of compensatory weight gains when introduced to crop, grass or grain. Had a big sweat in the yards prior to assessment further emphasizing possible compensatory gain. Plenty of frame, not much condition so it shouldn’t take long to get them to heavier export feedlot entry weights or right through to bullocks. Most steers yet again exhibit softness, good bone, length, depth of barrel and weight for age. Of the 180 in the run 160 of these steers range from 320-380kgs with only 20 head heavier. The vendors are very careful when choosing their bulls annually and not frightened to spend for the right article, often surpassing the $20,000 mark at Cree Santa sale. Receiving excellent feedback from past buyers about their performance. Beef industry looks secure so buy these with confidence.

These are part of a normal annual turnoff. They were very good to handle on horses whilst mustering for assessment. These are just starting to hit their straps now that it has rained.
