Assessor Comments
CA HAUFF & SON PRESENT 3 DECKS (96 HEAD) OF VGQ VENDOR BRED HEREFORD BACKGROUNDER HEIFERS. A VERY EVEN LINE OF YOUNGER HEIFERS WEIGHING 300-380KG, BRED FROM A LONG ESTABLISHED HEREFORD BREEDING PROGRAM, WITH THE VENDOR BREEDING HEREFORDS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THESE HEIFERS HAVE HAD A DRAFT TAKEN OUT, RESULTING IN A VERY EVEN LINE OF QUALITY CATTLE. THIS LINE IS SLIGHTLY LIGHTER THAN THE VENDOR’S COLART OFFERING DUE TO MISSING SOME OF THE SEASONAL RAIN, HOWEVER THEY DISPLAY GOOD BONE, LENGTH, DEPTH AND SOFTNESS WITH EXCELLENT TEMPERAMENT, MAKING THEM A PLEASURE TO HANDLE IN THE YARDS AND PADDOCK. PREG TESTED EMPTY BY A VET. THESE HEIFERS CARRY A STRONG FERTILITY BACKGROUND AND WOULD IDEALLY SUIT A BACKGROUNDING OPERATION, WITH THE OPTION TO RETAIN SELECT HEIFERS AS FUTURE BREEDERS. THE VENDOR IS RETAINING NO HEIFERS, WITH THIS BEING THE FIRST DRAFT OF THEIR NO. 5 HEIFERS OFFERED FOR GENUINE SALE DUE TO NUMBERS. VENDOR IS ALSO OFFERING TWO ADDITIONAL 3 DECK LINES OF SIMILAR QUALITY HEREFORD HEIFERS AT COLART IN THE SAME SALE, PROVIDING BUYERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE LARGER NUMBERS OF CONSISTENT, VENDOR BRED CATTLE. BUYER BEWEAR 3 HEIFERS WITH OLD BLUE SCARRING TO EYE, NOT AFFECTING VISION AND NOT CONSIDERED DETRIMENTAL.
