Trade Results
Bullock Hills Simmental was a winning stud in Woolorama's trade cattle competition.
The judge said those who had entered cattle should be congratulated on presenting such good paddock run heifers despite the tough conditions.
The femininity of the Bullock Hills heifers pushed them out in front with the champion heifers being awarded 26 out of 30. They also scored 40 out of 50 for structural soundness, and 14 out of 15 for eveness of pen and 4 out of 5 for the judges discretion sector, taking the winning total to 84.
The judge (Mr Peter Cowcher) said "The winning heifers were softer and more feminine and I liked their structure and teat placement."
