Hawthorne Speckle Park Hawthorne Stud, located near Boonah in SE Qld is run by Kent and Libby Wells. After seeing a marked increase in weight gain in a mob of backgrounding steers in 2017, we started acquiring Speckle Park commercial cows and in 2021, our HAW prefix was registered. We enjoy seeking out the best genetics with proven progeny to give a good diversity of high performing females as a base herd in line with our motto ‘When Performance Counts’. We focus on temperament, fertility, fine coats and commercial performance and believe we have cattle that will perform well in Queensland conditions, being bred in ticky country with humid summers.

Ivery Downs is based in Colinton, South East Queensland and is proud to host the Hot Spot Multi-Vendor Speckle Park Auction. We run a commercial herd of circa 1,000 head plus over 200 stud Speckle Park animals. Being located in Queensland, away from the breeze of the coast, we have heat, ticks, hills, droughts and floods to contend with therefore, resilient and structurally correct animals with the constitution to remain functional and sound are critically important to us. The Ivery Downs animals in this catalogue possess the traits we consider necessary to perform in a variety of conditions and provide you with the benefits to which we have become accustomed since making the change to Speckle Park. We are very proud of the Ivery Downs Speckle Park offering in this sale and look forward to building lasting relationships with the successful bidders.
We established our Speckle Park stud in 2018 to compliment and enhance our commercial cattle operation. We have been commercial cattle breeders for 5 generations, moving from the Northern Rivers in NSW, into Queensland in 1990. Our mission is to produce high performing and good quality cattle that go on and perform for our clients, with our herd continually improving annually due to our stringent breeding selection. Temperament of our cattle is number one, as can be seen when we have farm visits from prospective customers and repeat buyers. We continually hear from our purchasers that the temperament of the offspring produced by our bulls is amazing – this leads to better feed conversion, better carcass, and most importantly, better profit. We look forward to consigning 2 outstanding heifers at the Hot Spot Autumn Affair sale.

We are once again thrilled to make the trip north! After a successful Spring Hot Spot sale, it was a no-brainer to return this autumn! We’re excited to offer 6 outstanding Autumn born females and 4 steers. With the Speckle Feature Show at Brisbane in mind, we’ve offered our best, with animals we consider contenders come August! Our females include some first time offerings from new cow families, and what we believe to be the first INC Talladega daughter to sell in Australia! Our steers are bum busters, selected from a large group as the top end! We’ve enjoyed success both on the hoof and hook at Melbourne Royal over the last 15 years and look forward to watching our steers compete at the top level! We once again thank Dale, Stacey and the team at Ivery Downs for hosting the sale, and wish the vendors and purchasers the very best!

Fox Tail Hill Speckle Park Fox Tail Hill Speckle Park was established in 2014 by Troy Hepburn with the recent addition of Fox Tail Hills Speckle Park in 2022 by Kate Hepburn. As a brother and sister duo, we run these studs as a family, working together to grow a stud herd of over 50 purebred females that we are proud of. We have had many successes at the Royal and local shows. At Fox Tail Hill we have focused on breeding our Speckle Park for both stud and beef purposes, leaning into the quality beef in Speckle Park cattle. With Troy being a butcher, we enjoy feeding and growing out show steers and butcher calves that are showing impressive carcase results and leaving customers wanting more. We are excited to offer Fox Tail Hill bred progeny that we are proud of and believe will go far in any herd and will continue to offer many more in the years to come.
