We have selected quality foundation females from other Australian Speckle Park studs. Our females are selected on both phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, including temperament for easy and safe handling, frame size and structure, shorter gestation length to optimise breeding efficiency, and lighter birthweight for calving ease.
We consider bulls from across the globe, however we favour local Australian genetics. Bulls are also selected on phenotype and genotype, considering physical attributes, EBVs and other genetic testing. We hand pick each bull we use over each cow, ensuring the traits we select for align with our breeding goals and compliment the cow's individual characteristics.
As we continue to grow as a stud, we are driven to produce animals that thrive in Australian conditions and are commercially viable. To achieve this, we are prioritising fertility, calving ease, short gestation length, strong growth figures, and genetic attributes that influence carcass quality and tenderness, such as leptin.
We also have a strong emphasis on temperament. We believe in breeding cattle who are calm and easy to handle. Reducing livestock stress through temperament selection not only produces cattle who are easier and safer to manage, but also has a positive correlation for production and meat quality.




Across the year, we will have a range of cattle available for sale - both stud and commercial, including heifers, cows and calves, bulls, and steers. While we endeavour to keep our website up to date, we may have additional animals available, so we always recommend reaching out to discuss what you're looking for.
