Assessor Comments
A line of Angus & Angus x heifers that are excess to requirements & would suit a backgrounder to take on to feeder weights or grown out to suit a grass slaughter programme, they could also be classed further for potential breeders. These heifers are well handled & are good to work in the yards. The Angus heifers in this mob only had white on the udder. Vendor would normally grow out to feeder weights but selling early due to seasonal conditions. Please note the vendor has another 94 Angus heifers same sale.
