Paddock
Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Mustered in a large mob to a relatively small set of portables in a congested environment yet very well and expertly handled with very good stockmanship. The heifers flowed through the race and crush very well. A very small number could potentially become agitated if they were to be isolated. Heifers settled well when returned to the mob. Cattle were turned out directly after assessment with bikes and left the yard quietly. Cattle have been weaned with horses, bikes and dogs.

Assessor Comments
Buyers a great opportunity to purchase a very good quality line of ORGANIC USDA, NOP and GAP certified heifers that will suit the breeder or backgrounder in or out of the organic system. These heifers presented in mainly forward condition and demonstrated plenty of breed character and maternal traits. We are receiving very positive feedback from major feedlots in relation to the performance of the steer portion on grain. Very quiet to handle when being yarded and also while exiting the yards. These heifers have experienced a good summer season as you will see in the photos. These heifers are ready to join or fatten. Pease note there is some fly scar present on some heifers.
