Temperament not assessed in Paddock
These heifers were good to handle yarding up from cooler into yards and to work through the pound and crush. The heifers that were slightly stirry in crush were from being isolated or asked to stand on the platform for too long or while being mouthed but once out of the crush and returning into yard settled down quickly. They were very good to walk through while taking photo and videos.
