Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Steers were a pleasure to handle and their temperaments are tribute to the Bell Family’s dedication to breeding quiet, easy to handle stock. Only a handful of the mob presented as nervous/slightly stirry when being weighed however walked on and off the scales sensibly. When moving around steers in the yards they were calm and cooperative, displaying a gentle demeanour.
