Assessor Comments
A great line of USDA NOP & GAP accredited Organic Steers. Steers show good length, bone, frame and softness and would grow out into cracking bullocks or heavy feeders. Well bred steers, that are great to handle. Very odd steer has thrown more sleeker Brangus style. 2 Red Brangus types. 8 Calves by a Hereford bull, 3 with the red coat. Odd steer has fly rub marks around eyes. # Please note assessor is the vendor of the steers.
