Assessor Comments
Approx. 112 Very Good Quality, HGP Free, crossbred steers. These steers are predominately vendor bred No. 5's with a small percentage of No. 4's among them. After being in the yards overnight these steers weighed from 281-416kg to average 365kg. These steers are currently in store condition and have the frame to grow out to heavy feeders or grass fed bullocks with ease. Of the percentage mouthed, these steers are mostly milk tooth with the odd 2 tooth among them. Please note the vendor also has another lot of 2x 3 deck and 1x 4 deck VGQ Droughtmaster Steers and 3 decks of VGQ Brahman Steers available in this same auction.
