Assessor Comments
38 VERY GOOD QUALITY BOWEN BLOOD HEIFERS, EU ACCREDITED, BUNKER TRAINED, GRASS FED & ANTIBIOTIC FREE. THESE HEIFERS ARE STANDING ON VERY GOOD BONE AND ARE OUT OF VERY LARGE FRAMED COWS THAT PRODUCE TOP QUALITY CALVES YEAR AFTER YEAR FOR A SELF REPLACING HERD AND THE GRASS FED & KILL MARKETS. THESE HEIFERS WOULD BE IDEAL TO PUT ON FEEDERS TO TAKE THROUGH TO KILL WEIGHTS OR FINISH ON PASTURE FOR THE GRASSFED MARKET. PREVIOUS DROPS ALWAYS GRADE AT THE TOP END OF MSA FOR THE DOMESTIC MARKETS WHEN FINISH BY THE VENDOR. THEY HAVE HAD A BOVI SHIELD + MH 1, PESTIGUARD, DECTOMAX V & 7IN1 PUTTING THEM IN GOOD HEALTH AND READY TO PERFORM IN A FEEDLOT OR ON CROP. THESE QUALITY YOUNG HEIFERS COULD IDEALLY SUIT A BREEDER PROGRAM ALSO IF THE PURCHASER SO CHOOSES. PLEASE NOTE 6 HORNED HEIFERS THAT HAVE BEEN TIPPED. VENDOR HAS TWO LOTS IN TODAYS SALE. (7 YOUNGER HEIFERS. SEPTEMBER DROPS.)
