While a significant number of cattle are in Score 1 condition they are strong, healthy and improving. I don't anticipate any transport issues if good practice used for long distance.

Assessor Comments
A very quiet line of heifers ready to steam ahead if given the feed opportunity. Attention to breeding evident even in the lighter condition cattle. Radically weaned in 2023 due to poor season and ready to get on the move now. . While in ticky country the cattle presented without any heavy tick burden. It's noteworthy that skin blemishes noted in the comments are dried and healing ringworm in the main with some fly bite on those sites. One heifer had a healing abcess treated with long acting penicillin. Photos are included to illustrate that. In general I have described them as store and backward store, however they are in good health, I feel confident they will respond well to feed. Greentop is a coastal property, like most in the region they have had exposure to Lantana and a reputation of high performance when put on good feed. ** 3 Lots today from this Vendor 5 decks Total
