Assessor Comments
Lead draft of the Darlow Family Steer Weaners. Annual offering of heavy boned, Hicks ABC Composite Steers that offer the best of both worlds with the majority carrying the black coat and all the Hybrid Vigour of the Hicks Beef Composite blood to give them that extra punch. Steers have come through a very tough, trying winter/spring period with limited growth and weaning weights are down on previous years but still have the breeding & frame capacity to make outstanding kill bodies. There are still a fair percentage yet to clean up in the coat. Well bred steers that will perform either on grass or grain. There are 60 x Black Steers & 7 x Red Steers in the draft and all calves show good muscle development, bone and softness. All calves weighed 300kg & above at Assessment. Steers are grass fed and antibiotic free and vendor can provide a PCAS Non-Certified Supplier Declaration on request. Vendor also has a second draft of 48 steers in this same sale to make up a B-Double of 1 mark calves.
