Assessor Comments
Here presents a line of Crossbred backgrounder Heifers. These Heifers present in forward store condition and given the right opportunity would perform very well for the successful purchaser. Ideal heifers to background for Domestic or Export markets. Buyers, please look at photos for own breed assumptions, vendor has a herd based on multiple Bos Indicus crosses. Buyers, please note four heifers carry old pinkeye scarring but doesn’t affect their sight in any way and three heifers carry light wart or old fly scarring. Buyers, please also note 12 Yearling Composite Mickeys were drafted out of mob of heifers on day of assessment, vendor is unsure how long they have been in the mob for. Please note vendor has another four lots in sale.
