Cattle: The Brahman and Brahman Cross herd included in the sale is of high quality and quite temperament.

The herd for sale comprises approx 400 females (12mths and older) and approx 10-15 bulls plus progeny. The herd is not age branded and are joined on a continuous mating basis. Additionally there is approx 90 mixed age steers available, but if available at the time may be included by negotiation.

Vendor comments: Greentop is operated as a Brahman breeding property which, depending on season, can run up to 800-1000 mixed breeding females with progeny to weaners. With further areas established to Seca Stylo and improved pastures carrying capacity would be further enhanced. Very little lick (supplementary feeding) is used however Molasses is discreetly used from time to time. Currently the property has a good body of grass.
