Assessor Comments
440 - Top quality 'Mount Challicum' Bred & Blood wether lambs out of medium frame merino ewes off Challicum that ave 30kg @ assessment and with time on their side. Lambs present in genuine maj fat score 2 score condition and are ideal lambs to take out to trade weights later in the winter/early spring. Lambs are Aug/Sept drop, OJD Vacc. Bred out of the renowned & highly awarded Mount Challicum flock lambs are a dual purpose trading proposition given their age & weight. Lambs that are normally fed to air freight weights at 8 months offer a great buying opportunity to feed on.
