Assessor Comments
An opportunity to buy good quality Droughtmaster steers from the renowned "Bloomfield" herd. These steers are being sold at lighter weights due to the dry season prevailing in the country west of Blackall. The steers are all healthy in the coat and are in perfect condition to buy and put on fresh feed. They are ready to power ahead. The steers show good length and depth and are of good frame for their age. As mentioned in the assessment there are six steers that are marked later and are thicker around the head whilst there are two steers showing scarring from buffalo fly bites. These are not considered to be detrimental.
