Speckle Park Insider Summer Issue now available
Speckle Park International has released the Summer edition of Speckle Park Insider, its official digital magazine showcasing the momentum, progress and people shaping the future of the Speckle Park breed.
Inside the Summer edition, readers will find a clear vision for the future of Speckle Park, alongside practical insights into breeding cattle that finish and perform in Australia’s northern environments. Key features explore how the breed is turning momentum into action for 2025–26 and strengthening its commercial case through quality, data and consistent storytelling.
A strong focus on eating quality and genetic progress runs throughout the magazine. In-depth articles unpack what is currently known about tenderness, why it matters and where future research opportunities lie, supported by a detailed look at Single-Step BREEDPLAN and what it means for Speckle Park breeders. Practical guidance on recording the right data at the right time reinforces the value of objective performance information in driving long-term genetic gain.
Member stories and case studies highlight the diversity of Speckle Park operations, from small herds moving forward with confidence to new converts discovering the breed’s balance of performance and practicality. The issue also features young breeders expanding their horizons and an inspiring profile of a young educator turning passion for agriculture into purpose.
