Assessor Comments
Wendouree is a 4th generation farming and grazing operation who have been breeding Shorthorns since the 50's. The last 20+ years they have been purchasing Turanville Shorthorn bulls. In 2024 the vendor purchased JT Angus bulls that are predominantly based off the Millah Murrah bloodlines. These Cows and Calves are EU and vendor bred. These Cows and calves were surplus to a sale earlier in the year and with no improvements in the season the vendor has made the decision to sell. Cows are predominantly in store condition with a handful with plenty of cover and weight. Calves are growing out nicely. These units will suit a breeder looking to increase their herd or if looking to do a split job as these cows have the frame to load up with some serious kilo's. Cows are mixed in age with two at assessment with 2 teeth, majority with strong sound mouths and 1 older cow missing two front teeth. Please see photos.
