Assessor Comments
AN OPPORTUNE LINE OF 71 QUALITY BRED ANGUS STEERS 343KG SIRED TO HAVE GOOD SOLID MUSCLE DEFINITION AND HEAVY BONED TYPES. THE VENDOR HAS BEEN USING SELECTED SIRES FROM GRANITE RIDGE AND CHAMELEON WITH EMPHASIS ON DEEP BODIED SOFT SKIN, HEAVY BONED ANIMALS THAT HANG THE WEIGHT AND GROW OUT WELL. THESE STEERS WOULD USUALLY BE HEAVIER BUT ON LAST ROTATION WERE PUT ONTO TALL WHEATGRASS AND HAVE GROWN BUT LITTLE WEIGHT GAIN. IDEAL MONEY MAKERS TO SUIT SOMEONE LOOKING TO TAKE THROUGH TO HEAVIER KILL WEIGHTS OR FEEDLOT WEIGHTS. SHOW THEM FEED AND WATCH THEM GET HEAVY!! (1 treated for a grass seed in eye from hay)
