Overall, the steers handled well. A small number of steers were unsettled while in the crush and race; however, they settled promptly once returned to the mob, which is typical of freshly weaned cattle. It is expected that once the cattle are fully yard-weaned on delivery, they will be very good to handle. The vendor places a strong emphasis on temperament when selecting bulls and classing females.

Assessor Comments
Quality line of spring-drop, vendor-bred Angus steers. These very well-bred steers are out of medium to large framed Bongongo, Galimbang, Rennylea and Reiland Angus-blood cows, and are sired by high-indexing Reiland and Flemington Angus bulls. At just 4–5 months of age, these steer weaners are showing excellent growth and weight for age and would suit any backgrounding or finishing program. Steers were yard weaned at assessment, have received all standard health treatments, and are ready to steam ahead. Previous buyers have been very happy with the performance of the Marathorn steers, making this a reliable and proven line.

PICK OF 3 FULL FLUSH HEIFERS
Palgrove Charolais
· Flush · Charolais · Sire: PLEASE SEE CATALOGUE · Dam: PLEASE SEE CATALOGUE · PK25W83E, PK25W44E, PK25W53E (Pick of 3 flush sisters) True to our word, when we release females of this calibre it’s a genuine opportunity to secure the very best our program has to offer — something we don’t do more than twice in a decade. These three full flush sisters, all from one of our elite donor females, represent a rare chance for new or established stud breeders to invest in a future donor female with enormous upside. We couldn’t split them, so the choice is yours — and what a statement they would make at the World Congress in Brisbane this August. They are out of a proven donor female and sired by Rockerfella, who sold to the Ascot Stud for $100,000 in 2022. His first sons featured in last year’s sale, with 20 sons selling to average $20,737, underlining the consistency and demand for this sire line. They also have a full flush brother from the same program who is something truly special. If we don’t retain him, he will feature as a highlight bull in the yearling section of our September sale. Their dam has an outstanding production record, with 20 recorded progeny before the age of five, returning over $100,000 in her first year of sales from just five progeny. This included Ultrahot, who sold to Futurity Charolais for $40,000, and another daughter who sold to Black Duck Charolais for $18,000 as a 10-month-old heifer, who has since entered their donor program. The granddam is also a prominent donor with progeny reaching $36,000. A further first-calf Landmark daughter retained in our herd and full sister to Ultrahot ($40,000) was flushed this year, producing 14 eggs, reinforcing the exceptional fertility and consistency of this female line. You take the choice — and ‘Make your Mark’ on the Charolais breed.
