Assessor Comments
A line of crossbred steers taken off as the third draft from Angus and Shorthorn steers. This draft is the more Santa types and includes the progeny of the Charolais/Shorthorn cows. These steers are all tidy headed flat backs that have the quality, structure, and breed attributes to background to export feeder weights, or fatten to heavy export slaughter weights on either grass or grain. The same vendor has two other lots in the same sale. Steers were assessed on two adjoining properties, and will be delivered as such.
