[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1744228, member: 33533"] I agree, and in Australia vealers make big dollars per kg compared to animals grown out and if you can speed that up it's big bonus and speckles are performing in that respect. What the dairy's are finding is the speckle crosses are growing and filling out faster and beefier than other breeds. But i do understand when businesses have a tried and tested system that is profitable why would you change. To me the speckles have to gain a section in the market, hold it and then grow from there. At the moment anything with a nut is being sold as a bull and they are going to damage the breed. Some bigger more proffessional breeders are getting involved now and i feel, at least here in Australia, there is a real opportunity to grab a share of the market. [/QUOTE]
