Assessor Comments
A very good line of NSM Santa heifers. Majority ex Terrick, Blackall bred. Well grow showing very good bone, muscling and type. Heifers had a PG going on to oats crop in June. Bulls used by breeders are top quality Strathmore, Gyranda and Rosevale studs. Purchasers of these heifers previously have commented favourably on their performance. Heifers that are suitable for feedlots, fattening or as future breeders.
