Steers were a fraction flighty in the yards; they walked across scales well. I would recommend handling them on arrival, they will all settle down with handling and when they mature a bit more.

Assessor Comments
McQuarry Park, Casterton Vic, will offer 29 Angus Steers, 5 - 6 months, Pathfinder bld, Weaned, Drenched, Vacc, PCAS, Grass Fed & Antibiotc Free. Nicely bred line of Spring drop steers that will present in fresh store condition, steers were all individually weighed from 200 - 275 Ave 227kg (full). Steers are generally retained and grown out into heavy feeder weights, but due to dams going dry and water getting tight Vendors need to lighten off and keep the core herd going. All the work is done with these spring drop steers they just need time and feed in front of them. Vendors also offering 34 of their sisters in this sale.

4 x EMBRYOS BEN NEVIS JEAN S047
Ben Nevis Grazing Co
· Embryo · Angus · Sire: BEN NEVIS MONARCH M128 · Dam: BEN NEVIS JEAN P59 · 4 x A GRADE IVF EXPORT QUALIFIED OR DOMESTIC EMBRYOS When S47’s Grandam H215 sold we missed her terribly, but we had her daughter M30 to fill the void. When she died from an accident last year we knew immediately that S47 would take up the mantle. While Jean S47 herself is not in the Mature Cow Sale in the spirit of the sale we have made her available in the form of an exclusive embryo package. S47 has already established herself selling her first run of 5 bulls at last years’ sale for an average of $18,000 with three of them heading to studs including Wattletop, Karoo and Excel Genetics. Her grand dam is the $82K Ben Nevis Jean H215 and her dam is a full sister to Lots 1, 38, 55 with Lot 1 being the Australian record holder for embryo’s sold at auction for $6,000 per egg to Mackas Angus. S47’s eggs by Knowla So Right were exported to the USA to Darrel and Sara Stevensons from Stevensons Down T Ranch in Montana. S47 is currently in export quarantine and can be IVF’ed to the bull of your choice for Domestic, US, NZ, Sth America or EU accredited eggs for 4 A grade eggs. Sold price per egg for 4 eggs.
