High Spa Field Day, February 1st 2009

High Spa will hold a field day during Beef Week on Sunday, February 1st, 2009 which will include industry displays in addition to stud cattle for sale.

You are invited to attend our open day at any time between 9 am and 6 pm.

A highlight will be an offering of around sixty performance recorded females, including heifers and mixed aged cows. Bulls with first class genetics, for both heifer and cow joining will also be available for inspection and selection.

All sale cattle will be conveniently penned for ease of inspection with detailed individual information available. Speak to Brian, Wayne or Kevin about your current or proposed breeding program and markets and they can assist you in selecting the right animal or animals to suit.
