Fat cattle everywhere.....
More steers ready for sale, these ones are a little different to last weeks steers.
Dad, Mum and I bred these ones, their Dad is not a Poll Hereford bull. He is a Blue-E bull.
I call him BIG RED, he is a cross between a shorthorn (red) and a Angus (black).
These steers are 17 and 18 months old, they are very fat. They averaged 558kg on the farm.
They have grown that big just eating grass.
I wonder how they will sell?
$1.92c/kg and they weighed 525kg at the saleyards.
Dad is a little disappointed with that, the market was a little cheaper today.
Anyway........ BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!
These look great – so even as well – please let me know how they go – Well done – bloody rippers!
