Speckle Park tours with bulls

The world-renowned Wattle Grove Speckle Park stud is currently on a promotional tour through southern and central Queensland until 11 September.

Based in Oberon, NSW, stud principals Dale and Bin Humphries regard Queensland as their second home.

“We lease country near Warwick and have held sales in Queensland since 2012,” Mrs Humphries said.

“Our cattle do well in the Queensland environment and we love seeing our clients benefit from using Speckle Park in their stud and commercial herds.”

The Humphries will visit existing clients to learn more about their programs, the challenges they face and will welcome new buyers interested in the Speckle Park breed.

They will also host “catch ups“ at:

* The Queen Arm’s Hotel, Roma at 6.30pm Tuesday 29 August

* Commercial Hotel, Clermont at 6.30pm Wednesday 30 August

* Criterion Hotel, Rockhampton at 6.30pm Saturday 2 September

“We see this as a real opportunity to learn more about what our Queensland clients need in their bulls and how we can better serve them,“ Mrs Humphries said.

“It’s also a great opportunity to have a beer and catch up.“

Wattle Grove Speckle Park’s annual bull sale will be held at 1pm on 14 October at Toowoomba Showgrounds, with 40-plus bulls offered, along with high-quality commercial Speckle Park females.

“We really want people to come to the sale and inspect the cattle in the flesh,“ Mrs Humphries said.

“We are offering a two per cent discount to any successful buyer who attends the sale in person.”

Online bidding is available through Auctions Plus and Elite Livestock Auctions.
