Assessor Comments
44 GQ HGP Free Beefmaster Cross Steers. Ideal Steers to grow out to Feeder or Slaughter Weights. There are 6 x Steers suitable for the Supermarket Trade, 7 x Flatbacks, 22 x Beefmaster Steers that are borderline Flatback & 9 x Steers that would grade Brahman. Majority of these Steers have Tidy Heads, Good Feet & are Quiet. They were 100% weighed & assessed after 2 hours off feed & water with 8 x older Steers mouthed with Milk Teeth. There are 36 x Beefmaster Cross Steers that were purchased as calves on Cows end of last year. There are 8 x Steers purchased off the Breeder on Auctionsplus out of Southern Queensland earlier in the year. Vendor has another mob of Beefmaster Heifers in the same sale as well as Heavier Feeder Steers. Steers are running in the same holding paddock as their Beefmaster sisters & it would be appreciated if buyers could deliver in a similar timeframe. They would make a neat B-Double if purchased together. Denton is Prickly Acacia Free. Please factor the above trait into your bidding.
