Assessor Comments
On offer Ex Netallie Stn via Willcannia NSW are 78 quality weaned NSM Angus x Angus/cross heifers weighing from 283-485kg to Av 356kg full at assessment. Bred in the renowned cattle regions around Tamworth and purchased in a couple of lines ex the store sales in April as spring drop calves, these calves have matured and grown into a nice line of heifers. Heifers have been on exceptional feed given the season in the far west and have gained significant weight since purchasing and would expect to gain weight quickly now as the cooler weather passes. These cattle have been well handled and were a pleasure to deal with during the assessment process and a primed to go onto more paddock feed to grow into heavy feeders or retain as future breeders to join to the bull of your choice. **1 x heifer showing slightly clouded eye on one side and 1 x heifer with some small warts on the face, not deemed detrimental at assessment. **Please note vendor also has a line of 120 steers of a similar description in the same sale**
