Temperament not assessed in Paddock
These heifers are very easy to handle in all areas of the yards. Temperament has been a huge focus by the vendors and considering these have only been weaned for about 5 days they were very quiet. Buyers advised to allow heifers to settle down on arrival before they show them the gate.

Assessor Comments
Buyers here are EU accredited weaner heifers from the very well-respected Roper Downs herd of Charbray and Charbray cross cattle. These young heifers have settled very well since they came off the cows last week and are extremely quiet. These soft heifers show plenty of shape and will fill many possible buyer requirements. These will tick all the boxes for a backgrounder to take to an oats crop or improved pastures and take onto domestic feeders, or being PCAS eligible will also suit all grassfed slaughter markets off grass. Above all they would be ideal to take through to heavier weights with the possibility to join up to your bulls of choice. They have been pre-treated for ticks with an injectable so hopefully they will clear but no guarantees can be given. These were drafted on colour and these are the red types. There is an additional light 2 decks of the creamy heifers that can be purchased to fill decks.
