Hi I thought I would get a chat goin about speckle park cattle because I know a lot of people haven't heard of them. The breed was developed in Saskatchewan Canada

 

[Fairfarmhand]

I saw one of your previous pics and wondered what kind of cattle that was.

I love the color, but then I am a fool for spotted cows. Love an aryshire myself.

Are they beef?

 

[saskcattle]

Yea they are beef animals. They have a bit of shorthorn in them to add more milk they are easy goin cattle low birth weights good weaning weights and like I said they fatten up faster in feedlots

This is new to me, I'm with the fairfarmhand, I'm a sucker for spots.

If you want more info on them or a list of producers go to www.canadianspecklepark.ca kinda a neat breed with good weaning weights and temperament with added color bonus

They look a lot like Randal Linebacks, except maybe the speckled cows heads aren't as linear as the Linebacks. Randall Linebacks are a rare Dairy breed from New England that seem to throw a pretty good carcass too

some of the calves have started arriving

 

[milchman99]

Great looking calves!

Aren't the Bulls a little wild I heard it from sombody so don't know if true

 

[saskcattle]

Haven't had a problem with them. All the bulls I have dealt with have been good and cows nice quite easy to handle calves around. Of course there is the odd spazz but every breed has one or two of those.

 

[cowfarmer]

Thank you just wondering how many head you got

 

[cowfarmer]

I'm from saskatchewan to

 

[saskcattle]

112 mixed cows. 40 or so are speckle. I breed all my heifers speckle park.

 

[cowfarmer]

They sound like a good starter breed

 

[Patrickdaley]

There angus x shorthorn arent they??

 

[cowfarmer]

No there there own breed

 

[saskcattle]

Speckle Park are a combination of the genetics of three breeds from England and Scotland:
Teeswater Shorthorn
Aberdeen Angus
English cattle with the white park pattern

 

[cowfarmer]

I'm sorry for asking if the Bulls are aggressive it's i knew that each breed is tame depending how you raise them
