Assessor Comments
Buyers, here is a good line of quality lightweight healthy weaned Angus steers averaging 249kg. These steers present in store condition with good frame, length and muscle expression with softness. Steers have good spring of rib with plenty of room to fill out. Steers are normally backgrounded out and sold as heavy feeders. They are bred out of medium to large frame Angus cows by well balanced soft Cossart Angus sires. Steers worked very well through yards. Steers are grass only eligible and antibiotic free. Note 1 steer was banded on the 25/7 and still healing up.
