Heifers mustered well ex paddock with movement but blocked and yarded well in yard. Preg tested up race heifers ran well in general stood well for preg test. Re -worked back through yards for weighing. In general station heifers that have been worked through yards 4-5 times/ trucked are well handled stock. Good to work steady when not pressured.
