Temperament not assessed in Paddock
Steers were very good to handle in the yards. Majority were nice and quiet while in the race and crush. One steer was slightly agitated and another became highly agitated in the crush and exited quickly. All settled once back in the yard together and all remained quiet when being photographed. The vendor runs a cell grazing operation and steers are used to electric fences. Vendor handles stock using Low Stress Stock Handling techniques.

Assessor Comments
A line of 8% fair, 54% good and 38% very good quality Shorthorn and Shorthorn Angus Cross EU accredited steers. These vendor bred steers range from 55% medium frame through to 45% large frame. There is a small group of approx 11 head over 400 kg full weight with the balance 280 - 399 kg. They suit to take to EU export feeder weights and then finish for a range of high quality slaughter markets. The steers were yard weaned in April using LSSH techniques and have been treated with 2 shots of 7 in 1, Pestigard, Mulitmin and Rhinogard IBR. After weaning they were confined and fed a grain based ration before going back out to good quality winter pastures from early July to now. One steer has healing pink eye in one eye - it will most likely settle to have a medium blue eye spot but he has vision in the eye and is reactive in the crush - see photo. Another steer with active pink eye was treated and removed from the line - steers will be reassess for pink eye at delivery. These are nice quality steers that have come through a very difficult season well and will continue to move forward on good feed.
