Monster steers sold at Shepparton saleyards

“I’m a Collingwood six footer (5 foot 10 inches),” saleyards manager Brendan Carey said on Tuesday, February 27.

“They’re way bigger than me.”

Agent Sam Nelson said the eight steers bred by a Katandra vendor were in exceptional condition.

Unfortunately, biggest is not always best, as the size creates issues for transport and abattoir handling.

The pen sold for an average of 158¢/kg.
