It would appear that the agents will yard an outstanding run of cows with calves at foot including good lines of composite cows with some calves to 5 months of age.
Most lines of females with calves at foot have been re-depastured with exceptionally well-bred bulls. Many lines are accompanied by available photos.
The agents are selling this sale as one of our last opportunities to balance the books with our accountants prior to the end of the financial year.
By the time of the sale we will have almost reached the shortest day of the year and spring some 10 weeks away.
With the widespread rain we have been enjoying it is hard to imagine that most will not enjoy an outstanding spring season more detailed descriptions will be found in the major rural journals or on The Herd Online prior to the sale.
