SPX Beef - A new Sales Platform for Speckle Park Breeders

SPX Beef - A new Sales Platform for Speckle Park Breeders: What is it about ?

www.speckleparksales.com.au

This website hopes to facilitate principally three things. 1 A forum where smaller breeders have an opportunity to look for the genetics that they may be interested in and to sell their progeny. Not everyone is capable of being able to mount a sale but nevertheless have really good animals that other breeders may be interested in, this is an opportunity to contact the breeders privately and have a discussion with them about their animals. 2 In time to come we hope to be collecting from our members carcass data. We will be making place on the website for people to be able to fill out forms so that we can gather carcass data. Not only is it important to maintain pedigrees and collate information which may be relevant for estimated breeding values but to utilise the ability to connect breeding lines to the production of meat and to test that against superior meat quality. 3 We hold the view that because of its broad spectrum of adaptability Speckle Park cattle are the quintessential cross breed animal, we have seen their results with Angus, Hereford’s, Brahmans, Shorthorns and a host of other breeds such as the Nguni, bringing to the carcass high retail yields, increased EMA and marbling.

At SPX beef we consider it a principal focus to look at what speckle park contributes to the cattle industry in the broadest possible sense. The collation of data is key, we hope that you will collaborate with us to better understand the qualities of this breed. How to use the Site 1. Go to speckleparksales.com.au 2.
