Assessor Comments
Buyers 2 decks Santa & Santa X PCAS eligible backgrounder heifers that present in store to forward store condition. Heifers show good bone, length, frame & softness with a very quiet temperament to match. This line of heifers has had access to the bull but have been running with a larger run of heifers in a big paddock. Heifers would ideally suit to background out to heavier weights for the supermarket trade or would suit to join up for future breeding. At assessment 1 x head noticed with old blue eye scarring in one eye and 1 x head with a wart under eye both not seen as detrimental.
