Our Stud
SPECKLE PARK
Our herd features premium breeding stock with high-end genetic profiles. We have teamed up with innovative thinking partners such as AgPro Technology to ensure that our pastures can sustain what we envisage for our high-end genetic breeding program.
We aim to harness the knowledge and experience to develop breeds that can serve Australia’s differing environmental conditions.
Our principal herd is Speckle Park. We have chosen this breed for its exceptional versatility and for what it brings to any carcass.
Brangus
We also have started a program with Brangus.
The sheer volume of carcass of these animals is impressive. By crossbreeding Speckle Park with Brangus cattle we hope to produce a record carcass yield with exceptional marbling and palatability.
We were introduced to Brangus through Peter and Roz Alexander of Hidden Valley Stud and are very impressed with their carcass yield. As such, we have started an elite and select Brangus program to take advantage of those features. The Brangus genetics we are breeding with are exclusively high end but the prospect of a Brangus-Speckle cross could raise some very interesting results.

Solera
Solera cattle breeds are composites between African taurine and Bos indicus. Among these breeds, the Afrikaner breed has significantly diverged from its ancestral forebears, probably due to genetic drift and selection to meet breeding objectives of the breed society that enable registration. The Nguni, Drakensberger and Bonsmara breeds are admixed, as demonstrated by the genetic composition of South African Solera cattle using SNP data from cattle breeds worldwide.
THE BULLETIN
In 2020 we published the Supabeef Bulletin which has been well received by the community. Farming has given us immense joy and brought us in contact with so many wonderful people that we decided to launch the “Speckle Park SupaBeef Bulletin”. This magazine aims to promote sales and provide news in our industry. It is the most circulated Speckle Park Magazine (distributed four times a year) and the response has been phenomenal.
