22.01.2022 This is an article you need to read. Here are four takeaway points: 1. What happened? 137 heifers, comprised of 76 F1 Angus x Speckle Park and 61 Angus, were custom-fed together for 100 days as part of a feedlot trial run by the Speckle Park International Technical Subcommittee ... 2. Dollars per head: on average, the Speckle Park infused heifers returned $149 per head more than the Angus heifers, based on carcase weight 3. Carcase yield: the Angus heifers had a start weight of 20 kilos heavier than the F1 Speckle Park heifers and had a finishing weight 17kg heavier than the Speckle Park heifers, BUT, despite this weight difference, the Speckle Park heifers carcases weighed on average 2kg more than the Angus carcases 4. Marbling score: over 50% of the Speckle Park infused heifers received an MSA marbling score of 400+, and over 20% scored 500+. Of the Angus heifers, only 21.7% scored 400+ and 1.7% scored 500+ Congratulations to everyone involved with this successful feedlot trial, with special thanks due to the dedicated crew on our Technical Subcommittee.

The statement says this will enable events to take place in a less crowded capacity and enable better social distancing. Well done to the committee for their foresight in these unusual times. This show is a special one for us, as Speckle Park has been chosen as the 2021 Feature Breed, and we have all been looking forward to celebrating the breeds success together. Photo credit and thanks to Wattle Grove Speckle Park for this gorgeous shot of Maxie at last years show.

17.01.2022 2021 Speckle Park World Congress Postponed - Speckle Park will remain as Feature Breed at the 2021 Sydney Royal Show We were saddened to make this decision to postpone the World Congress, however we will organise a Speckle Park World Congress event to be held once international travel restrictions have lifted. Speckle Park will remain as Feature Breed at the 2021 Sydney Royal Show and we are pleased to release the attached list of classes for this very special event. We have ...a touch over 10 months to go until the Speckle Park goes up in lights at the most prestigious beef cattle show in Australia! Speckle Park World Congress postponed THE impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll on another breeds planned world congress, with Speckle Park International (SPI) today announcing the decision to postpone the breeds World Speckle Park Congress, originally scheduled to be held in conjunction with the 2021 Sydney Royal Show. The Speckle Park breed will remain as Feature Breed of the 2021 Sydney Royal Show, and there will be an elite Speckle Park sale, youth events, and a Speckle Park feature steer competition with significant cash prizes. Speckle Park International chairman, Wayne Munt, said due to uncertainty around recovery from the pandemic and resumption of international travel, it was unclear when the World Speckle Park Forum would now be held. We are looking forward to having the global Speckle Park community come together for the World Speckle Park Congress, with significant participation from Canadians and New Zealanders, Mr Munt said. This has been a difficult however prudent decision to ensure the efforts of organisers, and sponsorship support is rewarded through maximum participation in the event. Speckle Park International is grateful for the hard work already completed by the SPI World Congress Sub-Committee, and look forward to our breed benefiting from their contribution when the World Speckle Park Congress proceeds. http://specklepark.org/pdfupload/128.pdf

10.01.2022 As members will have seen today, SPI have sent out an email announcing that due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the uncertainty surrounding the show, Speckle Park have regretfully withdrawn as the feature breed for 2021 at Royal Sydney Show. We are deeply disappointed, as we know many exhibitors are, but have made this difficult decision with the interests of the breed and its resources in mind. We encourage those who would like to discuss this decision to get in con...tact with CEO Hannah Bourke ([email protected]) or SPI RAS liasion Greg Ebbeck. We’d like to acknowledge all the hard work which has been put into preparing for the 2021 Feature Breed by both individual exhibitors and the subcommittee, and express how proud we are of our Speckle Park show teams. We thank members for their understanding, and are working hard to set an upcoming feature date. We look forward to making announcements when we can about future opportunities for showcasing the Speckle Park cattle we know and love.

08.01.2022 Dear SPI Members, Thanks to all members who completed our recent Speckle Park International (SPI) Member Survey. The wheels are turning in preparation for our annual magazine to be launched later in 2020. We are presently seeking firm story leads from, including names and contact details, particularly with emphasis in the following areas:... Producer case studies Feedlot/carcase results/feedback Speckle Park in the dairy industry Butcher/restaurant/customer feedback regarding meat quality On-farm side-by-side trial results Youth profiles. Any general suggestions are welcome too. Can you please forward your suggestions to [email protected] As an aside, there has been some confusion around the Facebook group that was called the Midcoast Speckle Park Group, and was renamed on March 6 to Australian Speckle Park Association. Despite this being a former identity of our breed society, we wish to inform Speckle Park International members and followers that this Facebook group is not affiliated in any way with our breed society. To avoid confusion within the existing and future Speckle Park community, we have formally requested for the administrators to cease using this name.
