Assessor Comments
Approx. 292 VGQ Droughtmaster Steers, these steers are predominately No.5s with a very small percentage of No.4s. After being in the yards overnight the steers weighed from 282-420kg to ave 356kg. The steers are in store condition and are HGP FREE, these steers have plenty of compensatory gain and will power ahead on good feed. These steers have good frame and bone and would grow out with ease to a heavy feeder or grass fed bullock. Of the percentage mouthed all No.5s were milk tooth with the No.4s being both Milk and 2 tooth. 1 steer noted with a water bag, not considered detrimental. These steers will be sold as a run out the gate in 2x 3 decks and 1x 4 decks. Please note the vendor also has 3 decks of VGQ Brahman steers and 4 decks of VGQ Xbred steers for sale in this same auction.
