Speckle Park International Inc Information

SPECKLE PARK CATTLE CO PTY LTD was founded in 2007. For over 25 years, the company has traveled to North America, particularly Canada to source predominately Poll Hereford genetics and import them to Australia. Whilst on these trips and walking many times through the huge cattle barns and exhibition halls of the Canadian Western Agribition (one of the world premier and largest livestock shows) they regularly saw a black and white "speckled" breed of cattle on display, which interested them immensely. The cattle's intriguing colour pattern, quiet disposition, softness and amazing thickness made the breed a must to find and inspect every year they attended Agribition. In those early years the Speckle Park breed was what the Canadian's called an evolving breed and on display only, at the show, but the dedicated Canadian breeders new they were onto something very special and continued to work hard strengthening all facets of the breed ensuring their future progress. Over the ensuing years the directors saw more and more of the breed and became even more excited with what these impressive speckled cattle had to offer the beef industry. The breed did progress and rapidly, in both numbers and quality in the late 1990's. Carcass Grand Championships at the world renowned Calgary Stampede and various other hoof and hook competitions then catapulted them into the mainstream beef business in Canada.
