Steers
We aim to turn our steers off as heavy feeder steers at approximately 400kg but seasonal influences have sometimes meant that the steers are sold younger.
Our steers have performed well in the feedlot. In 2005 Eversleigh, along with 6 other breeders, took part in the Droughtmaster Feedlot, Carcass and Meat Quality Trial. 330 steers entered the trial with the 30 steers from Eversleigh placing 4th in the feedlot competition and 1st place in the carcass competition. 83% of the carcasses were MSA compliant; 79% of those met Nolan Private Selection requirements.
In 2007 a pen of steers placed 3rd in the 400kg and over section of the National Droughtmaster Store Cattle Show & Sale held annually in March.
At the 2010 Landmark Central Queensland Beef Classic a pen of Eversleigh steers won the Heavy Feeder Steer class as well as the Best Pen of Red Steers.
During 2011 we sold steers on Auctions Plus and at the Blackall Special Weaner Sale as well as to Teys Feedlot.
