Buyers these steers were a pleasure to draft and assess. They were good to handle considering only being yard weaned for 7 days. Approx a third of the mob got unsettled in the crush whilst being pre treated which is to be expected for fresh weaners and a few were quicker in the pound. I have full confidence these steers will be good to educate and will settle nicely. Please refer to my videos of the steers in the yards after assessment. Vendor has 1 more line of steers in this same sale.
