Heifers worked well through yards with only a couple becoming agitated in crush but settled well once returned to the mob , the temperament of these girls is a credit to the Vendors as they were a pleasure to handle.

Assessor Comments
Buyers a great opportunity to secure a 4 deck line of Vendor bred weaned Purebred Wagyu heifers. All out of large to medium framed Purebred Cows purchased in the last 4 years from renowned herds, sired by Fullblood bulls with the majority being 3D, Sumo, Arubial and Macquarie Genetics (please refer to attachments for bull identifications).These heifers have the conformation and breeding to be an asset to most breeding herds ,alternately could be taken through to the feeder market at heavier weight as they have performed very well since weaning achieving an adg of 0.62 across the mob .All the hard work has been done weaned, educated The majority of these heifers were just the younger lighter ones at weaning otherwise they would have been joined and retained in Vendors herd. A tail was removed from this mob, please note 2 observed with old stake scar on cheek and neck ,2 carried head slightly to side and 5 with slight white markings on muzzle or underline not considered detrimental.
