Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Exceptional cattle to handle throughout the yards and crush with 95% walking on and off without any fuss or urgency at all. It is a credit that weaners still on the cows could be so calm and easy to manage. Some of the heifers are a little anxious whilst on the scales yet not aggressive or flighty at all. When taking photos they are inquisitive and calm - the cows were just outside in a cooler yet the calves showed little anxiety or silliness that weaners can show.

Assessor Comments
The "Loongana" cattle are very well respected and known for quality, performance and temperament. Sires purchased in recent years have been generally in the lead of most sale catalogues. Very clean and tidy around the head, fresh condition and showing great bone, length & depth. 4 brindle, 2 creamy & 1 higher content Black/Brown. Buyers are expected to take into consideration the cattle will be weaned onto the truck and consider any additional adjustments or allowances for perceived shrinkage due to weaning and transport during or after arrival. They have had minimal handling to date however have a natural quiet disposition. They have been on good feed and the cows are in good order with such big weaners still following. They will remain on the cows until delivery & will be weaned onto the truck. Assessed in 2 locations - 'McNally's" 46 hfrs 206 to 290kg av: 256kg & are fresher & at "Loongana" 39 hfrs 181-317kg av: 233kg.One pickup at Loongana yards.
