Assessor Comments
Buyers an outstanding 2 deck line off top quality EU Purebred Angus and Angus X Steers. These steers aren't usually offered for sale at this weight as they are taken right through to kill weights. Ideal steers to continue on with to take onto the next step, the vendor has made sure these steers have had all animal health treatments required to give every chance off optimum performance. Please note a small portion off steers were treated with Metacam 40 and Tulaxx identified with bang tails. Some steers showing signs off old ring worm does not appear to be in an active stage and not detrimental. There is a small percentage of old blue eye scaring but will not deemed be detrimental. The Meigne steers are some off the Maranoas finest not to be missed. Please contact Geoffrey Maslen 0427697527
