Heifers were good to handle in the yards, they worked well through the yards and crush at assessment. There were generally no signs of aggression from the heifers but a few did stir up when separated from there mates during assessment. Odd heifer was a little flighty in the mob which unsettled there mates but overall good to handle.

Assessor Comments
A good quality line of 93 Droughtmaster, Red Brahman cross backgrounder heifers, all 1 Brand, HGP Free, Unjoined, mostly large and medium framed backgrounder type heifers that have been bred on semi coastal country west of Townsville, so expect to see good weight gains on heavier country. Vendor has backlined heifers with Dectamax Pour On 31/05/25. BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: In video of heifers there is 1 humped back heifer that is not included in the sale mob. She got in by error and is defiantly not part of the sale group.
