Assessor Comments
A good line of Angus heifers. These heifers have been back grounded by good operators, who gave them the best start via a thorough induction process using industry leading animal health products. All of this has combined to produce big lines of full assimilated cattle that are producing great weight gains. Buyers please note the Carrigan family have another in this sale, totalling 158 of these heifers all within a tight weight range, giving you the opportunity to purchase large runs of like cattle that are ready to perform.
