Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Steers were good to handle in the yards, they worked well through the yards and crush at assessment. There were generally no signs of aggression from the steers but one did stir up when separated from his mates during assessment and wasn't keen on entering the crush. An odd steer became flighty in the mob which unsettled his mates but overall good to handle.
