Battle of the Breeds

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!
