[QUOTE="cattleman99, post: 1683257, member: 14530"] My only experience with Speckle Park cattle was when an off age heifer I had on a dry pasture the summer before bagged up and it wasn’t hard to figure out the neighbors bull had paid a visit I wasn’t aware of when the heifer calf came. Daughter laid claim to it immediately and she made a good cow for 6 years TIL she came in open. She was out of a Fleckvieh cow and raised above average steers. All her steer calves were solid red or black and I bred her both roan Shorthorn and black Simmental over the years hoping for colour or a blue roan. I got one heifer I kept, which is 95 per cent black with a touch of white and she threw me a 7/8 Simmental steer that looks like a purebred Speckle Park with all the speckled markings. So if you keep a female know a few generations down the road you can get a surprise. Sire is a solid black purebred Simmental that is hetero black. [/QUOTE]
