These cattle where easily handled, I would have liked to have made them all quiet in assessment but they having not being handled in the yards that often, they did come unsettled but definitely no steers became aggressive. The Bulls are selected on there temperament which after dealing with the Moombidary cattle for a number of years this trait is coming to the front.

Assessor Comments
The Steers handled well, They have been born into good conditions, They are well bred and show the quality of the breeding. The colours and softness of the cattle is displayed in the video and pictures in the assessment. We treated at least 5 steers for eye problems (Pinkeye) and if not totally recovered (healed) we will reject at delivery. I marked in temperament that a number were slightly slurry, in my opinion with handling they will be quiet cattle. The weaners were mustered over a 6 week period and at the end of muster were yard fed with Lucerne hay. Previously the Vendors steers have been kept to Feed lot weights and have perform exceptional well for the previous purchasers. The curfew is stated at 6 hours 170 of the weaners were assessed on arrival to the yards from holding paddock the balance 210 were weighed the next morning being over 12 hours hence the 6 hour curfew. Highly Recommend. There is another 3 lots of Moombidary steers in this sale.
