Mustered in easily to a relatively small set of portables in a congested environment yet very well and expertly handled with very good stockmanship the steers flowed through the race and crush well. A very small number became agitated when confined or isolated yet settled well when returned to the mob. Cattle were turned out directly after assessment with horses and bikes and left the yard quietly.

Assessor Comments
Buyers a good to very good quality line of ORGANIC USDA, NOP and GAP certified steers that will suit all backgrounder and/or organic programs. Steers are progeny out of Ultrablack and Utrablack cross cows and are noted performers on either crop, grass or grain. These steers presented in mainly forward store condition and have had plenty of yard time so as a result I would expect good compensatory gain given the right feed conditions. Buyers please refer to the videos and photos for full and accurate breed description. There is the odd steer with a small amount of fly rub and 2 steers with old scarring on the eye. Note there are 2 lots from Terrick in this sale, all 1 brand and Vendor requires same day delivery.
