Paddock
Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Overall a very nice and easy mob to work with that flow through yards well at a steady pace with the occasional animal becoming agitated. Majority of the time when a heifer would become agitated was due to an outside force such as being the last left in the pen.

Assessor Comments
A great opportunity to buy a very well bred and well handled line of predominantly Santa heifers that showcase quality. These heifers will perform and go ahead with feed infront of them. They are a very even line of cattle that would suit buyers looking for future breeders as they have many desirable traits and will be able to be joined in their near future. They will also suit buyers chasing a line of heifers to grow into feeders, these cattle are offering a quick return on your investment.
