Open day for relaxed look

Take the time to ask questions and view the cattle up close before sale day.

AAA Speckle Park’s Inaugural Bull and Female Sale will be held on 17 June at their IvyHome 1243 Haly Creek property.

However, there will be three open days on 4, 9 and 10 June at the property for prospective buyers before the sale.

The later open days align with the last day of the 2023 Elders Farm Fest in Toowoomba to allow people a chance to pop over to the open day afterwards.

AAA Speckle Park owner Denis Roberts said that often sale days are just a ‘quick look over the fence’.

“[An open day] gives time for people to take a relaxed opportunity to look at the animals thoroughly,” he said.

“At a sale you’ve got no opportunity to chat to the owner -a look over the fences isn’t going to do it.”

The open days will be a relaxed chance to gain an insight into the unique qualities of the AAA Speckle Park breed, including their latest breeding program.

“We’re happy to share the whole breeding program… usually there’s no opportunity to look at the dam and sire on sale days,” Mr Roberts said.

The AAA Speckle Park breed is proudly born and bred in Queensland, with the animals a little bigger and with extra length to cater to Queensland conditions.

“They do survive in harsh conditions -these animals are able to handle a range of temperatures,” he said.

The meat quality is notably sweet with high marbling and the breed yields ‘very well’.

Perhaps the biggest value add for the AAA Speckle Park breed is the fact that it is very fertile.

“There’s a number of breeders that use it,” Mr Roberts said.

Another trait is that it is very good at converting feed into weight gain.

“Higher fertility, heavier carcass it just makes dollars,” he said.

It is also noted the docility of the animals is between 1 and 2 temperament.

All of the animals are vaccinated for three germ, 7:1 three day and pestiguard, bulls are semen tested and scanned and 90 percent of the animals are blooded for ticks.
