SECOND JAD SPECKLE PARK + ANGUS

QLD BULL SALE BRED FOR LASTING PERFORMANCE

Our family welcomes you to the Second JAD Speckle Park & Angus QLD Bull Sale. Thank you very much for showing an interest in our program – we are grateful for your support, and look forward to getting to know you and your breeding program.

After such an enjoyable experience taking our JAD cattle to Queensland last year, we are so excited to be heading back to Rolleston again. It was so rewarding to share our beef - and our program - with such a great group of people at last year’s JAD QLD Sale, and we would like to thank everyone who made our family and team feel so welcome. Thank you!

We hold a growing concern that our beef industry is losing sight of the role of the breeding cow, and the requirements for on-farm profitability of grassroots producers. While we 100% agree that we need to produce high quality beef for the end consumer, and growth is an important trait for profitability through the supply chain, we cannot forget the fundamentals in beef breeding. As we approach the 10th JAD sale to date, we have always been about breeding for longevity - encompassing fertility - to ensure commercial relevance for us and our clients. Our breeding cows must rebreed every year, and last the test of time. Once these fundamentals are taken care of, we can focus on layering on performanceenough to suit our environment, target market, and our management. We first started breeding Speckle Park commercially in 2012 and were so impressed by how the breed performed that we decided to start our stud in 2016. We then decided to benchmark this emerging breed against the most popular breed in southern Australia - Angus - by establishing our JAD Angus stud in 2020. We trust you will peruse this catalogue and see the consistency of type we are developing here at JAD. Our use of a select few performance-recorded sires

is really starting to pay dividends, as is our commitment to collecting raw data to increase accuracy of our animals’ estimated breeding values (EBVs), and thus confidence. We have embraced independent assessment of our animals, inching forward each year as measured not just by the percentage of animals that ‘make the grade’, but more importantly the percentage that sit right at the top of the tree. JAD Speckle Park is one of very few studs that carry a five-star Breedplan Completeness of Performance rating. We apply this same standard in our Angus stud. Although we put a lot of emphasis on doing our best by Breedplan, our core fundamental benchmarks are with the utmost importance placed on temperament, feet and legs, scrotal, and udder quality.

We would like to thank our families, friends, and service providers for their immeasurable support - especially Justin’s parents, Tony and Kate. We would also like to thank our team members, Stewart McKenzie and Jordan Greene, for their valued contributions to JAD.

PS: If you would like to learn more about the Speckle Park breed, listen to our podcast, Why Speckle Park?

With thanks,

Justin, Amy, Jack and Mitchell Dickens.

Speckle Park Single-Step BREEDPLAN EBVs reported in this catalogue come from the July 2025 run, while Angus EBVs and published from the Mid July 2025 TACE run. See further information about BREEDPLAN EBVs on pages 11 and 12, and a Percentiles Table on page 52. For TACE information and Percentiles Table, see pages 16-19.

Veterinarian’s Physical Examination of Bulls/Females:

Bulls:

All bulls offered have passed a crushside and morphology semen evaluation, carried out by Dr Hennie Strydom of Wellington Veterinary Hospital. This assessment certifies the bulls are fit for natural service, however does not guarantee their semen will freeze for artificial breeding. Additionally, no bulls have been health tested for export qualification purposes. All bulls are sold without guarantee that they will meet all health testing requirements for semen export.

Raw Data:

Fat and muscle scanning, and scrotal circumferences were measured on two-year-old November 21-22, 2024, by Roger Evans, Bovine Scanning Services Pty Ltd, Tamworth, when the animals were 13-16 months old. This data was submitted to Breedplan/TACE for purebred bulls.

DNA Testing:

All bulls have been fully DNA tested at Neogen Australasia.

100K SNP Profile for every bull and purebred female

Parent Verification (PV) for every bull and purebred female in the sale

Coat Colour RGF – homozygous dominant black RGC – dominant black/recessive red RGW – wildtype red gene carrier

Myostatin NC – non-carrier of the nt821 myostatin gene

C – carrier of one copy of the nt821 myostatin gene

Leptin Represented as TT, CT or CC. Read the following page for more information about Leptin.

SALE INFORMATION

Leptin Testing:

JAD Speckle Park was the first Australasian Speckle Park stud to undertake DNA testing specifically for economicallyimportant beef production traits, including leptin. All purebred lots have their Leptin test results published.

Leptin TT is the preferred genotype - TT cattle will show improved carcase traits over CC cattle, with CT cattle being somewhere in the middle. Cattle inherit one copy of the gene from their dam, and one copy from their sire. This means that if you have a TT bull, the calves can only be either CT or TT, as he only passes down one T allele. Leptin is a mammalian hormone with the primary function of decreasing appetiteit is known as the ‘appetite gene’. Leptin TTs have an overall increased rate of fat accumulation compared to leptin CC. For Leptin TTs, this mainly results in:

▶ Increased weaning weight

▶ Increased cow productive life due to increased body condition

▶ Increased milk production

▶ Increased 12th rib backfat

▶ Impacts yield grade and marbling.

Registration Transfers with Breed Societies

JAD Speckle Park & Angus will take care of and pay for ownership transfers of registered lots on behalf of the purchaser. If you would like your new bull(s) transferred in the database, please email us at jad@jadspecklepark.com.au

Visitor Safety:

All of the sale animals have been screened for temperament and are quiet to handle under normal circumstances. However, there are inherent risks with cattle handling. VISITORS ENTER THE CATTLE PENS AT THEIR OWN RISK. CHILDREN/PRAMS MUST NOT ENTER THE PENS.

People entering the yards are at risk of injury. Be especially alert to bulls fighting. We do not expect the bulls to be aggressive with humans, but sale day places extraordinary

pressure on them as they experience an entirely foreign environment. Do not crowd the bulls or loiter inside the pens.

When You Get Your New Animal(s) Home

On arrival at their new home it is important a suitable mob of animals (eg: pregnant cows, steers) is yarded to greet the new animal(s), to minimise stress on them. The bulls are in good joining condition at point of sale, but it is imperative to ensure good nutrition for the bull during the joining period. You should check the bulls regularly to see they are working, especially in the first three weeks of joining when the majority of problems occur. Watch for any signs of injury, infection (any high temperature can compromise bull semen quality) or possible serving dysfunction. Early detection of any problems can minimise the impact of the quality of service your bull provides, and conception rates.

SALE INFORMATION

SPECKLE PARK COLOUR PATTERN GUIDE

It is important to understand how Speckle Park colour patterns work in order to achieve your breeding goals. While some breeders are mostly interested in producing speckled cattle, others want to inject the notorious hybrid vigour of Speckle Park, while retaining predominantly black herds. For example, when a solid black Speckle Park bull is joined with 100% purebred Angus cows, the resulting calves will be solid black. Another example is when Angus cows are joined to a white Speckle Park bull, the resulting calves will be predominately speckled.

Speckle Park cattle have four distinct colour patterns; speckled, leopard, white pointed and solid black. The speckle and leopard colour pattern are genetically the same except for varying degrees of spotting. Some Speckle Park cattle can produce red colour patterns if both parents carry the recessive red gene.

Please remember when dealing with nature individual results will vary. The guide is just that – a guide – and Mother Nature has the final say.

ADVANTAGE THE

We are a commercial- and customer-focused Speckle Park and Angus breeding operation which aims to deliver seedstock that will improve the long-term efficiency and profitability of the beef industry, and consistently “plate up” a unique and memorable beef eating experience for the end consumer.

We feel strongly that the Speckle Park and Angus breed in Australia will benefit from bulls that have been bred under our strict standards, and they are backed by our 12-month “JAD Guarantee” – we are in this journey together.

When you buy a JAD Speckle Park or Angus, you can be assured that they have been heavily measured and scrutinised. Our Speckle Park stud carries a five-star BREEDPLAN Completeness of Performance rating,

acknowledging the effort we make to measurement and maintaining contemporary group completeness right through to 15-17 months old, in an effort to achieve more accurate EBVs. We aim for a balanced set of objectively measured traits, and work to gradually optimise growth and carcase traits – not in quantum leaps. We put in the hard work to give our clients the confidence to back us and our cattle.

We are passionate about our cattle and hold a strong femalefocussed vision for what we want our herd to look like. Our cattle must be structurally sound, medium-framed, deepbarrelled, thick, and soft with good temperaments, longevity, and a low maintenance requirement. The result is progeny that will calve easily, grow, finish quickly, and grade highly.

We look forward to working in partnership with you.

A GLOBAL INFLUENCE INDEPENDENTLY ASSESSED DATA RECORDED TEAMWORK

+ CUSTOMER SERVICE

We travel to Canada and New Zealand regularly to get to know the different breeders and their breeding programs, to see genetic lines in the flesh, and to select our “picks” to infuse into our herd through extensive ET and AI programs.

All bulls are semen tested - not just crushside, but also morphology semen testing. All bulls have been independently assessed for structural soundness and temperament.

JAD Speckle Park carries a five-star BREEDPLAN Completeness of Performance rating. Our extra effort is to improve the accuracy of resultant EBVs and deliver real value to our clients to assist them in their decision-making.

We are both just as passionate about our cattle as each other, and we are committed to helping our clients achieve their goals in a long-lasting partnership.

Structural problems and temperament in cattle have a substantial effect on both the reproductive and growth performance of a beef herd. It is widely recognised that structural problems in sires have detrimental effects on conception rates, calving patterns and thus profitability. Similarly, females with inadequate structural characteristics are more prone to weaning lighter calves or conceiving later in the breeding season than their more functional counterparts. These structural problems are filtered through the supply chain resulting in reduced income for the producer, feedlot and overall industry productivity. Dick Whale assesses our sale cattle at least twice in their life before sale day. Having our cattle independently assessed assists us to make unbiased decisions around culling for structure and temperament.

BREEDPLAN BREAKING DOWN

Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) published for registered Speckle Park bulls in this catalogue are from the July 2025 SINGLE-STEP BREEDPLAN run. Below is a description for each EBV and how to apply the information:

EBV FOR BIRTH WEIGHT (BWT)

Birth weight is a major factor in calving difficulty. Use EBVs to select against birth weight if dystocia is a problem. The lower the EBV the lighter the calves are expected to be.

EBVS FOR 200-DAY GROWTH AND MILK

Vealer producers should place emphasis on the 200-day growth and milk genes. If the bull is to be used as a terminal sire, growth is most important. If a bull is to used to breed replacement heifers, and superior milking and mothering ability is required, then consider the milk genes with the EBV for milk (kg). The estimate in kg milk is not the yield of milk of the dam, but the growth of the calf due to more milk and better mothering of the dam. At JAD Speckle Park, we submit two 200-day weights for improved accuracy of this EBV.

EBV FOR 400-DAY WEIGHT

400-day weight EBVs are a measure of the animal’s ability to grow to 400-days-of age (can be measured from 301-500 days). It should be used by producers who wish to turn off yearling cattle. At JAD Speckle Park, we submit two 400-day weights for improved accuracy of this EBV.

EBV FOR 600-DAY WEIGHT

600-day EBVs are computed for growth to 600-days-of-age (can be measured at 501-900 days). It is the best prediction

of an animal’s ability to grow onto maturity, hence it is important for the heavy steer producer.

CARCASE TRAITS

These traits are calculated from live scan data and are adjusted to a standard steer carcase weight of 300kg.

FAT DEPTH EBV (RIB AND RUMP)

Measured in millimetres at either 12/13 rib or P8 sites. As these EBVs increase, the progeny can be expected to fatten more easily but carcase yield may decline.

RETAIL BEEF YIELD (RBY%)

The percentage of retail cuts compared to total carcase weight. Related to EMA and Fat Depth and Weight EBVs.

INTRA MUSCULAR FAT (IMF%)

The percentage of fat to muscle in the eye muscle. Used as a more precise measure than Marbling Score.

EYE MUSCLE AREA (EMA)

EBVs are relative to the breed average EBV each trait. A larger EMA EBV (sq.cm.) means more muscling and generally higher carcase yield relative to carcase weight.

SPECKLE PARK SINGLE-STEP BREEDPLAN

Speckle Park Single-Step BREEDPLAN uses pedigree, performance and genomic information simultaneously. The analysis takes account of each animal’s actual genetic relationship with all other genotyped animals, including those in the reference population. The EBVs in all herds relate to a common base. This increases the accuracy of the data, as well as allowing comparison of the genetic merit of the animals from different herds (across herd) within the group.

Each reported trait shows an EBV and its Accuracy level. The EBV (Estimated Breeding Value) provides the best current estimate of the bull’s true genetic merit for that trait, relative to the overall base for the Speckle Park breed. It indicates how his progeny should perform relative to those of other bulls in the breed.

The Accuracy indicates how well an EBV predicts the true genetic worth of an animal. The Accuracy of an EBV will be higher for traits with a higher heritability and will increase as more performance information on an animal and its relatives becomes available. The Accuracy of an EBV is reported as a percentage. EBVs with high accuracy will change less than EBVs of low Accuracy when more performance records are analysed.

The following guide may be useful for interpreting Accuracy:

▶ Less than 50% Accuracy - the EBVs are preliminary. EBVs in this range will have been calculated based on very little information. These EBVs could change substantially as more direct performance information becomes available on the animal

▶ 50-74% Accuracy - the EBVs are of medium Accuracy. EBVs in this range will usually have been calculated based on the animal’s own performance and some limited pedigree information

▶ 75-90% Accuracy - the EBVs are of medium-high Accuracy. EBVs in this range will usually have been calculated based on the animal’s own performance coupled with the performance for a small number of the animal’s progeny.

▶ More than 90% Accuracy - the EBVs are a high Accuracy estimate of the animal’s true breeding value. It is unlikely that EBVs will change considerably with addition of more progeny data.

SPECKLE PARK SELECTION INDEXES

There were four selection indexes introduced for the Speckle Park breed in mid-2023: domestic maternal, domestic terminal, export maternal and export terminal. Please visit www.specklepark.org/learn-breedplan to learn all about the new indexes and which one best suits your program.

Strong futures begin with healthy minds.

We’re here to sell livestock. To feed passions, make memories, and create futures. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge that none of that is possible without strong mental health.

Depression. Suicide. Pain. Loss. Bewilderment. Hopelessness. Poor mental health affects more of us in the grandstands today than we can imagine. Its impact on society is monumental and it is claiming some of society’s best. It took my Mum when I was 17 and has impacted me hugely. The Black Dog Institute is a fantastic initiative that is dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental illness. I have selected my favourite bull in this sale catalogue – chosen for no particular reason other than him being my favourite – and we will donate 10% of the auction sale price of this bull to the Black Dog Institute. Please, don’t suffer in silence.

The selection from this catalogue is Lot 3: JADA Unanimous U616.

HBR-REGISTERED ANGUS BULLS

Understanding the TransTasman

Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE)

What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).

What is an EBV?

An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).

EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.

Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals

TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).

For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20

kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed

EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:

• the breed average EBV

• the percentile bands table

The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.

For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.

Considering Accuracy

An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.

The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.

EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.

Description of TACE EBVs

EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

SPECKLE PARK REFERENCE SIRES

Maungahina Promise

We purchased Promise for a then-New Zealand record NZ$35,000 in 2020. His progeny are super docile, with a little extra bone and length of body. He is out of the same cow as our coowned sire, Maungahina Nikko. His first daughters are milking very well.

We co-purchased Nikko in 2019, and he is breeding exceptionally well. We have gone on to use him extensively. Nikko is one of the best-moving Speckle Park bulls we have seen, and is breeding very little waste in his progeny.

Quistacat is the most fluent-moving Speckle Park bull we have seen. Excellent structure, top 1% of the breed for scrotal size, and producing excellent docility in his progeny. His first daughters have raised excellent calves, and have held their condition well.

Minnamurra Montezuma M25

Montezuma has become a household name in Speckle Park, combining calving ease, short gestation and lower birthweights with plenty of growth, muscle and top 10% fats. Extra length and softness.

JAD Unsung Hero U164

Unsung Hero U164 packs a punch to kickstart the Registered Two Year Old Speckle Park bull offering. Dick Whale scored him 7 out of 8 for structure/docility. We have retained three full ET-bred sisters to this bull in our herd, and they are very consistent in the type we strive for. His dam, Midnight Lady S38, is a young cow that is rising through the ranks of our herd, being out of a proven donor dam who bred very well for us in Midnight Lady P27. His dam, Midnight Lady S38, is long-bodied and exceptionally quiet, with good feet. In the top 1% for 200-day weight, Unsung Hero U164 is a high growth bull that will put extra thickness into his calves.

Sire: JAD Napoleon N31.

JAD Upper Limit U149

Upper Limit U149 has been selected as one of Dick Whale’s “picks” in the catalogue, based on structure/ docility. He is a deep-sided, soft-made bull.

Upper Limit U149 features well in all indexes, while also sitting in the top 9% of the breed for intra muscular fat. He is sired by our highly-regarded sire, JAD Quistacat Q48. The meat quality in our Quistacat progeny has been consistently high.

JAD Undeniable U67

Undeniable U67 is another powerful, high growth bull in the catalogue, being sired by our co-owned New Zealand sire, Maungahina Nikko.

Undeniable U67 has enormous growth data, sitting in the top 10% of the breed for all growth traits. He is a high yielding power bull - if you want to turn off heavy calves at a younger age, this is an ideal bull for the job!

Sire: Maungahina Nikko.

JAD Unite U102

His dam, Ponderosa Spots A Roarin 19Y, has arguably been the best producing cow family of all that we have imported from Canada to date. Her contribution to our herd has been significant. Unite U102 is sired by our New Zealand sire, Maungahina Promise, who we purchased in 2020 for a then New Zealand record NZ$35,000. Promise has left an outstanding mark on our herd.

Another son of our New Zealand sire, Maungahina Promise, who we purchased in 2020 for a then NZ record NZ$35,000.

Unwrapped U363 is an AI-bred son of Waratah Teeka P271, who we purchased in September 2022 as part of a large group of Waratah females that we introduced into our herd at the time. We selected these cows to further enhance the important traits of longevity and fertility in our herd, and they haven’t disappointed.

If you are chasing intra muscular fat, Uptown Boy U300 would be a solid option, sitting in the top 3% of the breed for this trait. He is also a suitable heifer bull, being in the top 15% of the breed for birthweight.

We have used his sire, Maungahina Northern Star, quite extensively over daughters of Maungahina Legacy, producing a good mix of carcase and maternal traits in the resulting progeny.

Sire: Maungahina Northern Star.

JAD Umpire U270

Umpire U270 is another bull out of one of our Waratahbred cows. She goes back to Spanish Angel J187, who Waratah regarded as one of the best females they bred during their extensive time in the breed.

We are excited to continue the development of our

Commercial JAD Speckle

Park Family. The proof is on display!

This family has been developed alongside our registered purebred family, and offers commercial producers an option for their breeding program to select unregistered commercial Speckle Park bulls that are DNA parent verified and tested for genetic conditions, independently structurally assessed, and backed by the 12-month JAD Guarantee. Some bulls in the following pages are just as “purebred” (PB) as those in the registered section, but just don’t carry the registration paperwork.

This family’s core foundation breeders were meticulously selected from over 400 F1 Speckle Park/Te Mania Angus

females, and we have benchmarked this herd directly alongside our registered cattle as they progress towards full-blood (but unregisterable) status. We look forward to following the progress. Please note that these unregistered commercial bulls have been managed in the same contemporary group as their purebred registered counterparts earlier in this catalogue.

NOTE:

75:25 = 75% Speckle Park, 25% Angus (AKA: F2)

88:12 = 87.5% Speckle Park, 12.5% Angus (AKA: F3)

94:6 = 93.8% Speckle Park, 6.2% Angus (AKA: F4, or “purebred” by definition).

His dam, L594, remains in our herd today as a 10-year-old cow, and has made a significant contribution to our commercial Speckle Park family at JAD. U510’s sire, Maungahina Promise, is consistently breeding industry-relevant, high-yielding, docile cattle. His two- and three-year-old daughters have excellent udders and maternal characteristics, with the volume that we love seeing in our females. They’re strong-headed, and work hard to raise a good calf, even when under pressure.
