Assessor Comments
Approx. 100 very good quality No.4 & No.5 Santa Gertrudis heifers. At assessment the heifers weighed 250 – 398kg to average 325kgs after being in the yards for 3 days on good quality hay and water. These heifers are out of medium and large framed Santa Gertrudis and Santa Gertrudis cross cows and are sired by very good quality Santa bulls. Bendigo Park have been breeding VGQ Santa cattle for many years, with renowned Yarrawonga and Yulgilbar bloodlines. These heifers would be ideal to background for the domestic feeder market or to keep for future breeders. Please note a small percentage of the heifers were identified to have some fly bite.
