Comment on Fat Score 1 Cattle
Predominately store to small percentage backward store condition. Given heifers are on good pasture but very wet conditions for grass to have a strong body the cattle are "slippery". It is expected that they would travel with at least one spell over 1000km. Heifers are all fresh, in strong condition. Recommend trucking at 35 to a deck therefore 2 deck in mob. Can be adjusted if purchaser buys both lots in this sale to suite B double unit.

Heifers were very good to handle through the yards and on scales. The temperament of the mob was exceptional. Well suited to a smaller operation with smaller paddocks if required. Small % became agitated but settled quickly back in mob. Heifers where calm to handle. Very good to walk around the yards at close distance as noted in the video.
