Assessor Comments
85 GQ Vendor Bred Droughtmaster Cross Heifers. These Heifers have Good Bone, Length, Depth & Frame for their Age, with Sound Feet & mostly Tidy Heads. They are from a Highly Regarded Herd & are ideal to finish off to slaughter weights on Grass, Crop or Grain. The pick would also be suitable to retain for Breeders. Take note of the compensatory weight gain available in these Heifers. Heifers are very good to handle & they have the added benefit of being bunk trained. All Heifers are genuine Calender Branded, with 2 x No.6's, 71 x No.5’s & 12 x No.4’s. The No.4 Heifers were mouthed with 9 x solid Milk Teeth & 3 x Two Tooths. Heifers were 100% weighed & assessed after 16 hours off feed & water. They were all PTE with a reproscanner by Madison Godfrey at assessment (very competent non vet contractor, happy to sign certificate if required). Factor above traits into your bidding. Vendor has another 2 mobs of Heifers in the same sale. There are 3 x Bangtailed Heifers included in this mob. Vellum is Prickly Acacia Free. Heifers will be sold cents per kg off scales Winton after 12 hours off feed & water. Take note of delivery date, Heifers cannot be delivered any sooner.
