These steers are quiet in the paddock. They haven't had the normal attention with handling unfortunately and when in the yards or the crush are agitated. As you can see in the videos when returned to the larger holding yard they are able to settle and walk well. These cattle are not aggressive at all and with proper stock handling skills they work fine.

Assessor Comments
Wendouree is a 4th generation farming and grazing operation who have been breeding Shorthorns since the 50's. The last 20+ years they have been purchasing Turanville Shorthorn bulls. These steers are EU. These steers have been weighed and drafted into heavy feeder specs to average 427kg full at assessment. These steers will suit any grass fed/antibiotic free program and EU eligible and will pack plenty of kg's on. The same vendor has the PTIC Red tag sisters in the Eastern States Sale. *** Please note in the photos one steer has an old lump under the jaw, it has been vet checked and is old scar tissue.
