These heifers were a pleasure to handle in the yards & through the crush. Flowing well through the race up onto the scales with very little fuss. The stirry & slightly stirry heifers in the crush were from being asked to stand in the crush for too long or when being Preg-Tested. Once out in the yards they calmed down very quickly lovely to walk though when taking photos & videos.
