Returning $3022.50 at auction for vendors Dugald McIndoe, Smithson Farm, Glen Innes, the 310kg Charolais cross steer was sold to Nigel and Casey Wiek, Select Fitting Services described him as “well balanced, soft, easy doing with enough muscle content to suit”.
Mrs Wieck admitted she has had Smithson cattle before and they “do really well”.
“They are good soft cattle that are easily fed” added Mrs Wieck who plans to exhibit the steer at EKKA in either the late mid or early heavy class depending on his finish.
