Paddock
Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Weaner steers moved fairly quietly through yards provided it was done at a slow pace. Under pressure they behaved like a typical weaner with a tendency to move quickly, especially if they became isolated from the main mob. Handled reasonably well through the force and race but small percentage did resent being up close and personal on the scales in the crush. These steers are expected to settle further after being tailed and yarded using horses and motorbikes.

Assessor Comments
Buyers, presented is a great opportunity to purchase a 3 deck line of good quality, freshly weaned mainly flatback crossbred steers. Most of the steers appear to be flatback types however there are some steers (maybe 5-10 head) with some Brangus or Droughtmaster content so consequently a slight crest and longer ear. These steers would be ideal to put into a fresh paddock or on crop. They are nice soft steers and are developing very well to possess plenty of bone, depth of barrel and muscling. These steers are an ideal proposition for a backgrounding operation to take through to either domestic or export feedlot entry weights.
