Buyers these steers were a pleasure to draft and assess. They were good and quiet to handle considering only being yard weaned before assessment. A small % got unsettled in the crush whilst being pre treated which is to be expected for fresh weaners and a small handful were quicker in the pound. I have full confidence these steers will be good to educate and will settle nicely. Please refer to my videos of the steers in the yards after assessment.
