Paddock
Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Heifers worked well through the yards at assessment running through the draft twice and up the race. The odd Heifer stirred a little under pressure in small yard and in race but steadied once back with the mob. In bigger yards cattle were quiet to walk through.

Assessor Comments
Buyers 95 PCAS eligible Santa/Angus/Droughtmaster X heifers that present with plenty of frame and have been weaned for 3 months. Heifers show good bone, length & depth to suit both future breeding or feeding. Heifers were weaned in August and have been running on a combination of red mulga country with access to softer creek flats with good herbages. Heifers were assessed after a large curfew so expect buyer to see good compensatory gain once back on grass. At assessment 1 x head were noticed with one eye showing some old blue eye scarring but not seen as detrimental.
