These heifer were good to yard up out of the cooler, put through the yards, pound & run through the crush. The heifers that were stirry & slightly stirry in the crush were from being isolated or asked to stand on the platform for too long ocne back with the mob they settled. Heifers are free moving between yards but are easily slowed. These heifers were good to walk through while taking photos & videos. Handled by experienced stock handlers.
