Building herds, backing clients

Accredited Speckle Park cattle and proven maternal lines on offer at Wattle Grove’s Triple Treat Sale this month.

Wattle Grove Speckle Park will once again shine the spotlight on premium Speckle Park cattle and genetics when they host their Triple Treat Sale on Friday, 26 September 2025 at The Moathouse, Toowoomba Showgrounds.

The event will be conducted by Top X Roma with guest auctioneer, Lincoln McKinley of LINC’D Marketing.

On offer will be a select line-up of registered purebred Speckle Park bulls and females, exclusive genetic packages, and commercial Speckle Park cattle – each backed by the Wattle Grove Accreditation program.

Setting the standard for quality

The Wattle Grove Accredited program is the cornerstone of the Humphries family’s breeding operation. Every animal presented for sale has passed stringent benchmarks for structural soundness, temperament, and genetic merit. This commitment ensures buyers have absolute confidence in both the performance and profitability of their investment.

Maternal strength and genetic depth

Wattle Grove’s herd has been built on decades of selective breeding, with a strong emphasis on maternal traits, functionality and fertility. The genetic depth behind the catalogue ensures consistency and performance. Wattle Grove bulls offer the commercial breeder not only hybrid vigour but the carcass improving traits of Speckle Park, opening up the domestic market and higher MSA grading of progeny. Wattle Grove females provide proven herd building pedigrees in a functional, structurally-sound package.

Supporting clients beyond the sale

Wattle Grove has a reputation for supporting clients beyond the sale and are developing a dedicated supply chain for Speckle Park beef. Buyback agreements, repeat business and premium returns will underpin the system, rewarding quality production and building long-term partnerships.

Adaptability and market demand

Speckle Park cattle have proven their worth in Queensland’s diverse and often challenging conditions. With feed efficiency and adaptability to various management systems and climates, they are increasingly sought after by producers looking for resilience and profitability. Demand is also surging beyond the farm gate. In recent months, Wattle Grove has fielded increased enquiry from processors, meat wholesalers, butchers, and restaurants seeking to secure consistent supply of Speckle Park beef, renowned for its marbling, tenderness, and eating quality.

Sale day details

The Triple Treat Sale promises a top line-up of genetics and livestock that reflects Wattle Grove’s ongoing dedication to quality and value. On offer will be registered Speckle Park bulls and females, exclusive embryo and semen packages and selected commercial Speckle Park steers and heifers. The sale will be conducted in person at Toowoomba Showgrounds 5pm, Friday, 26 September 2025 with inspections from 1pm. Online bidding is available through Stocklive and AuctionsPlus ensuring maximum accessibility for those that can’t make the sale.
