Steers were good to handle in the yards, they worked well through the draft and crush/scales showed no signs of aggression, but an odd steer stirred up slightly when placed under pressure or away from its mates. Overall very good to handle in paddock and yard.

Assessor Comments
A good line of vendor bred 1 brand steers, these steers have a very good reputation for performance on both grass and in feedlots, being bred on lighter spinifex type country they always return excellent weight gains on better feed. Buyers can purchase these steers with complete confidence that they will do very well for them going forward, the vendor normally carries these steers through to heavy feeder weights but has decided to lighten off some paddocks to allow room for this years steers coming through. Steers were bred in tick free country, are currently located on the tick line so vendor has pre treated steers to clear and will guarantee clearance on property. BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: These steers have been individually assessed as one line of 195 and are being offered for sale in two mobs of 83 steers (3 Decks) & 112 steers (4 Decks) respectively. The delivery of these steers will be as a "run out the gate" scenario but the focus will be to deliver into even lines if purchased by multiple buyers. Buyers please note that there may be some minor differences to numbers stated in the assessment due to the "run out of the gate" delivery scenario.
