At assessment steers walked 4-5 km to yards. All yarded very well odd steer did look break but blocked good. Initially drafted on foot in yards for breed break up. In general station steers that have been worked through yards 4-5 times/ trucked are well handled stock. Good to work steady when not pressured. Good Station bred steers odd animal little flight.
