It’s going to be a big year for AAA Speckle Park in 2025 with over 50 bulls and 40 females all pasture raised and bred in Queensland.
Denis and Teresa Roberts will hold their online sale on Friday, 7 and Saturday, 8 February, followed by the first of their bulls at the February All Breeds Sale at CQLX, Gracemere, on 10 and 11 February.
In April AAA Speckle Park will host another online sale in April, offering 20 premium female Speckle Park genetics.
Their first on-property sale for the year, featuring 20 bulls and 10 females, will kick off in August.
Prior to the sale day, attendees are invited to attend their open day to inspect all cattle up for auction between 9am to 3pm at Ivyhome, Haly Creek.
Ivyhome is a 495-acre Kingaroy farm, consisting of creek flats and fertile South Burnett red soil, which is dedicated to taking care of cattle and supplying various products to the local Australian market.
As they don’t prepare their livestock with grain feed prior to sales, Denis and Theressa claim they ’do things differently’.
“We focus on regenerated farming and moved towards becoming a grass-fed operation,“ Mr Roberts said.
“We finish on pasture crops, rather than selling cattle that are grain fed, which can lead to fertility and other issues, we prefer to do things differently.
“We also produce larger frame animals to suit our environment.
“Our Speckle Parks are meticulously bred to thrive in the challenging conditions of Queensland, ensuring that farmers can effortlessly produce performing animals of unparalleled quality.
The Roberts ensure an excellent temperament and high intramuscular fat while maintaining a consistent eye muscle area measurement.
“We try to look for a larger frame beast but the hardest part is to keep them soft to make them easy doing,“ Mrs Roberts said.
“They have high marbling, a high growth rate and very strong fertility.
“We have a good range of bulls just to help people out with their breeding and this is also why we have a few sales a year as clients need bulls throughout the year.”
Mr Roberts explained Speckle Park cattle have a higher yield of around 62-63 per cent.
“This is a massive draw for commercial buyers, as well as for breeders, as even while hybrid breeding, the benefits can be between 10-15 per cent while still maintaining a higher yield,“ he said.
Carefully preparing for the sale, Mr Roberts ensured all beasts will be vet checked and will have their vet certificate upon the sale date.
The vet checks also include checking that the females have normal reproductive tract and palpation and that the bulls are semen tested.
“Our bulls are usually very early maturing and super fertile,” Mr Roberts said.
“Stud season has only just started, however, with the weather at the moment, the market is looking positive.
“We have videos of our current bulls for sale on our website and farm visits are always welcome to discuss our breeding program.“
Information and pictures of the cattle are available at aaaspecklepark.com.au.
