Assessor Comments
Approx. 90 very good quality Brahman, HGP Treated steers. These are mostly vendor bred steers with a small percentage of purchased steers, being predominately No. 5's and weighed from 283kg to 416kg to average 357kg after being in yards overnight. Of the percentage mouthed these steers are mostly milk tooth, with the odd 2 tooth among them. These are in store condition and have the frame to grow out to a heavy feeder or grass fed bullocks with ease. Please note the vendor also has another 2x 3 deck and 1x 4 deck VGQ Droughtmaster steers and 4 decks of VGQ Xbred steers available in this auction.
