Assessor Comments
A nice line of 50 Autumn 2025 Drop Angus Steers 370kg Average Curfewed. These are off cows that were purchased last spring from noted Western District Herds including "Camp Creek". They have been running on improved pastures and have had access to Ad Lib Silage which has kept the steers in fresh forward condition. They have got good bone and stretch and would be ideal to background further or put on feed or grow out for the lucrative grass fed job.
