Assessor Comments
Attention Backgrounders - On offer we have a line of store condition crossbred heifers that would excel in the rite conditions. These heifers have been running on frosted forest country and now with winter behind them the compensatory gains could be yours. They have had no access to bulls or stags and are all branded #4. Heifers are used to being mustered and dipped regularly, they are free moving through the yards and were easily assessed. Any heifers getting agitated whilst in the crush soon settling once returning to the mob. Vendor guarantees clear of the dip if delivered in specified time frame. Vendor also has another lot in same sale.
