Assessor Comments
11 vendor-bred Speckle Park backgrounder steers presenting in strong, forward-store condition. Exhibiting good breed purity, depth, and structural soundness, these steers display an even weight range averaging 291.1kg at assessment. They boast a consistent health history, being strictly managed on short, improved pastures—leaving them well-positioned to leverage compensatory growth when introduced to higher-quality feed. Backed by up-to-date Dectomax and MarksMin treatments, their temperament is exemplary, scoring completely quiet in both the yards and crush while handling beautifully on foot, with bikes, or vehicles. Strong, highly manageable, and fit to travel, this line is ready to shift forward onto crop or premium pasture, with one steer displaying a minor, completely healed old pinkeye scar. This vendor also has 10 heifers on offer in this sale.
