D I R E C T O R Y As the international boundaries begin to disappear in the exchange of Speckle Park genetics, it’s exciting to consider the potential for what is to come in terms of breed development. Even with a comparatively small gene pool, the combinations in which breeders around the globe have chosen to match available sires and dams create a plethora of options for matings to advance every herd.
Following with the exponential growth in herdbook registrations, there are ever more new A.I. sires and donor dams from which to access breed-leading genetics. This, coupled with increased data collection and genomic test results, can help guide selection and mating decisions to suit any individual operations’ environments and markets. As you compare and contrast the genetics available, we encourage you to dig deeper – check out the breeders’ websites, call them discuss your program’s specific needs, or even get out and visit their herds to view progeny and related animals. It’s a well-known fact that cattlemen and women love to “talk stock,” and will be happy to help you find the best fit for your needs.
