Assessor Comments
A great 3 deck line of Droughtmaster steers. Well bred steers that are ideal to take through to heavy feeders or bullocks off grass or grain. Weaning started on the 12th and over the weekend, and are quite settled for fresh weaners. Cows have done a incredible job on the calves given the season, with steers presenting very good in the coat etc, but don't have the milk fat. So will power ahead on fresh feed. 6 steers have another family brand / mark. Approx. 4 steers show slightly more crest/content. # Grasslands Accredited and eligible for various grass programs.
