Assessor Comments
An impressive line of Red Composite heifers. Heifers showing good frame for age, and presenting in ideal store condition. Rocklyn Pastoral have been purchasing Hicks Red Composite bulls for the past 11 years. A perfect line of heifers to start a herd of Red Composite herd or simply enhance an existing herd. Given the right opportunity these heifers have the potential to even grow into heavy export slaughter weights. Grass fed, Antibiotic free.
