Assessor Comments
A mostly good to very good quality line of vendor bred EU heifers. Mostly medium frame, these heifers suit to take to domestic feeder weights or finish for a range of markets. Alternatively, the top 55% VG quality heifers could suit as very good quality future breeders. Two heifers noted with slight blue eye spot in one eye. Heifers are mainly red, yellow or black flatback composites, from a composite cow herd sired by mostly Angus, Gelbvieh & Gelbvieh x bulls. Heifers have been grazing native & improved pasture in Leucaena paddocks since weaning in June 2025. Heifers have not had access to grain or cotton seed and are EU accredited. Please note these cattle are in the tick free zone and a clear to travel to all areas.
