Assessor Comments
Buyers an opportunity to buy 2 decks of VGQ Crossbred heifers. These heifers are best described as medium frame relative to age. Heifers were weaned in August 2024 with a full weaning program on hay in the yards & have spent the last 6 months in a mulga paddock. A very reputable line of cattle for sale that will be ideal to put away on grass and grow out to heavier weights. Heifers show good bone, length & confirmation and have a good performance record to suit both feeding or breeding. Buyers plenty of compensatory gain to be had with drying off season being experienced. At assessment 1 x heifer noticed with small needle lump in neck from botulism treatment. Note 2 x family brands in this line.
