Wattle Grove Speckle Park is gearing up for their Rockin’ at Rocky Sale at Beef Australia in May.
The Humphries family have a long-held relationship with Beef Australia. They were the first to exhibit and sell Speckle Park cattle in 2012 and have been instrumental in the growth and success of the Speckle Park breed globally.
“It is this consistency and longevity that will be showcased in the sale draft,” Dale Humphries said.
“Structure, consistency, growth, longevity and temperament are all key attributes we look at when assessing cattle for the sale. They have to walk and they have to work.
“The sale draft has been selected to suit central and northern Queensland conditions, focusing on a slicker coat and a touch more frame and bone.
“We know they’ll do the job.”
The sale to be held at 6pm, 8 May at the Wattle Grove Speckle Park site is the fifth sale at Rockhampton for the renowned Speckle Park stud and will include 16 purebred Speckle Park bulls and 12 foundation style females.
The cattle are grown and prepared at Allora, Queensland. All sale animals are blooded, performance-recorded, vet checked and have completed Wattle Grove accreditation to ensure they are ready to work.
“We have a lot of clients in the north and Beef Australia provides a fantastic opportunity for us to bring the cattle to them, get their feedback on previous purchases and learn more about their programs,“ Mr Humphries said.
“They can look through the cattle at their leisure from Monday and then join us for the sale 6pm on Wednesday 8th.”
The sale catalogue will be online from Tuesday, 23 April via www.wattlegrovespecklepark.com.au, while hard copies are available from the Wattle Grove site.
Online bidding is offered through Stocklive Elite for those unable to attend. Transport options are also available for remote buyers.
