WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

“We have been using Speckle Park bulls for 4 seasons now over a Charolais cross Drough Master base herd of 300 cows.  All of our bulls are from Waratah.  Running a small feedlot we produce calves for the supermarket trade.  Speckle Parks have increased our carcass yield and feed conversion in our 3 way cross herd.”

“We are really pleased with the progeny of our Speckle Park bull, Eden.  A white Eden calf topped the Casino sale when we sold it and we’ve sold the others as private kills or direct to butchers.”

“I purchased two heifers from Waratah’s sale last year.  Waratah J149 was shown at several local shows where she won numerous ribbons including a couple of champion ribbons.  She was led by my younger sister, so she is definitely a quite animal.”

“Our experience with the Waratah bulls has shown them to be very tractable with a quiet attitude that they seem to pass onto their progeny.”

“We are very pleased with the Speckle Park bull we bought from Waratah, our first group of calves are outstanding.  Our SP cross steers reach up to 406 kg at 8 months of age with supplementary grain assistance.  We took some to the local Warwick show. A heifer calf out of a Gelbvieh cow by Waratah Front Runner won Grand Champion Prime Vealer.   Joel Rickert received Grand Champion Lead steer at the Warwick show with one of our SP cross steers.”

“We were so pleased with the bulls we purchased from Waratah Speckle Park a few years ago – they got 64 calves in the first three weeks as yearlings.  The cattle have incredible performance and are so quiet, even our agent was very impressed with their docility.”
