Welcome Australia to our Pure Outcross Genetics

  Legacy Speckle Park genetics made their debut in Australia a few years ago. These genetics took some time to establish but have made the immediate desired impact that all parties had intended. Being the only true elite outcross herd for Speckle Park in the world is opening up huge opportunities for the Australian herds.

 Our herd has been virtually closed for many years whilst we concentrated on breeding the truest and correct examples of the Speckle Park breed. We are on the way towards replicating this superior genetic herd base in Australia that has taken us 20 years of dedication to perfect in Canada.  With this partnership and a direct contact now in Australia we hope to allow breeders in the future to select their own genetic matings to bring over directly from Legacy Speckle Park. 

But First, Why did Legacy Speckle Park set out to create a total outcross herd by developing their very own pedigrees? And to do this selection in an isolated environment of genetics? Early on in the breed around 2001, we foresaw that use of limited new AI sires and the continued reuse of “same blood” bulls could ruin the establishment of the fledgling Speckle Park breed and therefore felt the need to broaden the gene pool to better serve the breed in the future. During this journey we became frustrated with many of the bulls and females purchased as they did not live up to our selection pressures. As a result, the animals that performed under our strict selection criteria have become fixtures within our pedigrees; those that failed have been removed from the gene pool. 

Many of us have heard in recent times about powerful sires within the breed, so we would invite you to take some time and have a look at the Legacy Brute Force video on the Sires page to see superior genetic selection in action.
