Assessor Comments
An even line of 760 whether lambs to be offered in two lines, 1 line of 480 and another of 280, of a run out the gate. Wethers present in forward store to killable condition and have gone ahead in leaps and bounds in the last two months since shearing. Plenty of growing still to do in these sheep and will continue to perform heading into this continuing better spring here in the western district. As stated in the assessment there’s10-15 percent of the mob that are affected by clover scald that have been footbathed at assessment with zinc sulphate, quite common in our area this time of year with a good spring. If you are a chasing a mob of woolgrowers or something to eat excess feed these wethers will not disappoint. Lambs will be crutched prior to delivery.
