[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1598275, member: 21216"] I have a few commercial Speckles. They are fun to look at and it's exciting at calving time not knowing what colour pattern you will end up. We only have 5 commercial Speckle Park cows. Not sure if they are 100% Speckle Park or not, but I suspect most are at least 1/2, and a couple I'm pretty sure are purebred. The one does not have a very good bag and I'm not sure how many years she will last in the herd but the others have nice udders. The last couple years we have bred them to a Black Angus bull. Calves weaned off at respectable sizes last fall and they all seem to be doing a good job this year too. This year they were bred to a Speckle bull. Also bred a few black angus heifers to him. We have a small sample size but all of ours have good temperaments. We have a few friends that raise them and their animals have good attitudes too as far as I know. Their kids use them in 4H and spend a lot of time with their animals so I don't think they would tolerate bad attitudes. Some pictures just for fun: [img]https://i.postimg.cc/zXL2Fgxs/IMG_6104sm.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/25CNYYL5/IMG-5480sm.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/SNpVdBfw/IMG-4847sm.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/Fz0pmpNW/IMG-4815sm.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/fWdBxzmc/IMG-4731sm.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/SsBdw3FY/IMG-4746sm.jpg[/img] This is the little bull - he's not anything to brag about but he's not terrible either. On solid black cows he should throw all speckled calves. On the speckle cows they could either have markings like him or be speckled. Should be fun to see them when they are born next spring!
