Assessor Comments
A quality draft of Shorthorn Steers that have seen plenty of handling and are quiet. Steers that show good growth for age but are lighter in condition. All frame. Plenty of compensatory gain to be realised. Grass fed and antibiotic free these Steers are suitable to many markets. Take on to heavy feeders or grow out in to Bullocks.
