Assessor Comments
A nice line of predominately flatback crossbred steers that have come out of very dry country at Longreach. 100% weighed to average 237kgs at assessment, these steers have been on a light silage ration in the paddock at Freestone for the last 28 days. They are just on the move and would be ideal for the backgrounder to take them on to feeders. Steers with #3 year brand branded very young and were all mouthed and were milk teeth. ***Please note : Vendor has 70 Brahman cross backgrounder steers in the same sale.***
