Assessor Comments
32 head one mark Speckle Park heifers purchased direct the breeder out of Mortlake Vic weaner sale. They are NSM and being sold as guaranteed empty as there are no bulls on the property and they have not had a chance with a bull. These heifers have performed well since arriving and have been running on a lease block that is starting to show the signs of the season. These heifers were purchased in as a trade and have been able to grow and mature are now being offered for sale. They offer immediate compensatory weight gains with a change in nutrition and would be ideal to background or for feedlot entry. 100% antibiotic free and grass fed only. Please note vendor is offering other heifers in today’s sale on a nearby property.
