Paddock
Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Well educated, inquisitive & generally placid to handle only getting fidgety when confined in the race or weigh box. The steers settled quickly when back into back into the mob, in a narrow yard in the same workspace as I was in for assessing due to yard space they were placid and calm- not agitated or kicking up dust at all, just patiently waiting for another yard to be available. As seen in the videos they are calm & inquisitive when walking among them for photos.

Very well grown, long body and well muscled steers. Perfectly clean & tidy heads. The steers will not disappoint.
