Assessor Comments
Buyers here presents a great opportunity to buy 4 decks of high performing heifers from the renowned Hudson family herd. These heifers are best described as mainly good to very good quality. Good bone, structure and confirmation. 100% weighed at assessment to average 286 kg curfewed. Heifers will make an ideal feeder heifer. These heifers were bred using good quality Angus, Simmental, Droughtmaster and Limousin bulls out of a soft Droughtmaster/Euro/British X cow. Cattle come highly recommended from both a performance and temperament perspective. Hudson family cattle are naturally quiet in both yards and paddock.
