Our 2024 JAD Speckle Park Bull + Female Sale is now online! https://lnkd.in/gKa9QR3t We’re also in the midst to finishing our JADinsights Newsletter, which includes four case studies from commercial JAD clients, with these stories written by freelance journalists with experience writing agricultural stories. Here are some quotes from the case studies... “For the wider industry they offer a good option if you’re looking for a medium-framed cow that offers great growth rates due to the milking ability of the females, their feeding efficiency generally, and their yield once processed. The way I see it, why spend a lot of money raising up big-framed beasts when it takes more inputs and more grass and there’s still the risk of them breaking down? - John Kater, Gillawarrina Ag, Trangie, NSW "...Speckle Park genetics now play a critical role in our operation to produce small, quick-growing calves that bring us the benefits of being very efficient converters and early maturing animals... Those Speckle Park bulls are such fertile little buggers that we have the confidence the timing will be right, and they won’t let us down" - Stephen Biles, Rockland Spring, Comet, QLD “They yield like a Euro breed, but eat like a British breed, and are well represented by females that are more feminine in type than many other breeds. They generally yield about 5 per cent better than other British breeds and for me that’s a measurable difference" - Dunbar Wilkinson, Montreal Partnership, Cooma, NSW "...Their frame is so structurally sound and they walk so well and cover the country with ease. You get really good bone, and they are the most amazing doers. They hang on when the season is tough, but they’re also a lovely soft animal" - Lauren Perrett, Barakee Pastoral, Springsure, QLD. #specklepark #JADspecklepark #hitthespecks AuctionsPlus

We had the team from Bowyer & Livermore Livestock here today to inspect our sale bulls and females, ahead of the 6th JAD Speckle Park Bull + Female Sale on Friday, April 5. Stud stock specialist, Justin Guy, shares his thoughts on the bull line-up in this video. His “pick” of the line-up was JAD TARCUTTA T196 (JAD T196), who is a Maungahina Northern Star son out of a full sister to the $40,000 top-priced heifer of our 2022 sale. Dick Whale scored TARCUTTA T196 a 7 out of 8 for structure on Friday! 💥6th JAD Speckle Park Bull + Female Sale 🗓️Friday, April 5, 2024, @ 1pm 📍On-property at “Greenvale, Yeoval, Central West NSW 💻Can’t be there in person?
