The licorice allsorts embryo calving is underway with some super cute Highland calves, blue-grey coloured Wagyu and calves from the most beautiful Charbray heifer 😍 Somewhere there's some Santas, Speckles and Angus

Happy to have lightened the load just a little more with Wagyu heifers heading to Roma to join the Angus heifers that are living their best lives with grass and water. Thanks Anthony and Charlotte

Can see why there was an old house here, they certainly picked a spot with a view. Not here anymore, just rock picking a few bricks that came up when sowing

With Speckle Park influenced cattle currently in strong demand, we are seeking additional numbers to assist in meeting ongoing supply requirements.

We are currently looking for:

✔ Purebred Speckle Park cattle; or
✔ F1 Speckle Park cattle (minimum) out of British-bred females, sired by purebred Speckle Park bulls

Ideal live weight circa 350kg, however younger cattle may also be considered under agreed arrangements.

📍 Within approximately 8 hours of Colinton, QLD preferred
📍 Further distances considered in the right circumstances

✔ Fast payment

We are also continuing to seek quality cooperator herds interested in long-term breeding arrangements using nominated Speckle Park genetics with reliable market pathways.

Despite the fact that it is pretty much as dry as it has ever been here and we have had a few light frosts some dung beetles are still hard at it. Was feeding cattle so didn't have time to try to get better photos of the beetle for ID. Just happy they're still working.

Not sure who was more excited to have the feed mixer finally operational and the silage pit open, Tom or the cows. Good to have the post-drought purchase of the mixer out of the shed and while we would have liked to get a few more years before opening the silage pit it smells amazing. Thanks to the many many people who have provided advice, helpful (and not so helpful 😂) suggestions.

Sowing on a wing & a prayer... hoping the possible maybe perhaps rain event happens. No residual pasture was harmed in the making of this post... paddock was bare 🙄
