A NOTE FROM THE TEAM

Welcome to the 2020 “Breeding Book”

edition of The Speckle Park Journal. First off,

I would like to thank the advertisers for

their continued support of the Journal. It

has been a pleasure to work with you, learn

about your programs and understand how

to serve you best.

Within these pages, you will find an

exceptional representation of what Speckle

Park breeders have to offer commercial and

seedstock producers. Our advertisers could

be as close as your neighbour or on the

other side of the world. There are Speckle

Park genetics working wherever it is that

you call home. If you are looking for a new

bull, take a look at what these breeders bring

to the pasture. Your new herdsire could be

selling just around the corner.

With bull sale season upon us, it is

important to remain competitive as the

available market share seems to get a little

tighter each year. The national cowherd in

Canada has remained stable over the past

few years, yet every bull sale season, there

are more and more catalogues piled up on

the coffee table. With that, it is imperative to

stand out amongst the competition. Know

that your investment with The Speckle Park

Journal places your ad on the top of that

coffee table stack. The esthetically pleasing

presence coupled with enticing editorial

guarantees an enthusiastic read through.

Thank you to the team that worked to

pull this edition together. It has been a

great experience and would not have been

possible without your expertise. To the

advertisers and readers, your feedback is

always welcome. Please feel free to contact

me and let me know how we can continue

to support you through this next decade of

Speckle Park history.

Sincerely, Jacob Onyschuk

CSPA CORNER

Welcome to the 2020 “Breeding Book”

edition of The Speckle Park Journal.

A new decade brings opportunities

for the advancement of Speckle Park. In

the past 10 years, the Canadian Speckle

Park Association has gone from an

annual registry of 159 animals from 71

memberships in 5 provinces, to 1,402

registrations from 220 memberships in

8 provinces, the USA, and internationally.

If we continue with our current growth

trends, which are averaging 13 percent

per year, by 2030 the CSPA would see an

annual registry of 4,800 animals!

The board is committed to adapting

to these changes, and assessing the

needs of the association as a whole.

Sustaining growth of this degree requires

significant planning in resources and

breed development, focusing on proactive

planning to succeed in times of rapid

forward momentum.

Originally known as a small breed,

identified by its unique colour pattern

and Canadian heritage, we need to

continue pushing forward and capturing

more market share. As a breed, we need

to focus on gathering quantitative data to

substantiate breed merits. It is imperative

that we provide reliable proof points to

win the respect of commercial cattlemen,

feedlots, and seasoned purebred

producers alike in order to encourage

investment in Speckle Park genetics.

This past year saw major transitions

for the association, including switching

from Microsatellite to SNP genomic

testing, beginning EPD development,

and rebranding of marketing identity.

Thank you for your patience as we

continue the genomic transition.

Support for the CSPA youth donation

heifer was outstanding with a total of

$28,7000 raised. As an association, we

recognize that the future of agriculture

itself relies on our youth. Finding ways

to foster growth throughout junior

programs and buy-in from the next

generation is not only important to

our breed, but also the long-term

sustainability of the beef sector.

Remember that the annual general

meeting will take place in Saskatoon, Sask.,

from June 19-21. We look forward to

seeing everyone there and working on the

next phase of the Speckle Park journey!

LE COIN

DE L’ASSOCIATION

Bienvenue à l’édition 2020 du «Breeding

Book» dans le cadre du Speckle Park Journal.

La nouvelle décennie offre des opportunités

pour l’avancement de la race Speckle Park. Au

cours des 10 dernières années, l’Association

Canadienne Speckle Park est passée d’un

registre annuel de 159 animaux provenant

de 71 adhésions dans 5 provinces, à 1402

enregistrements de 220 adhésions dans 8

provinces, aux États-Unis et à l’étranger. Si nous

continuons avec nos tendances de croissance

actuelles, qui sont en moyenne de 13% par an,

d’ici 2030, l’ACPS verrait un registre annuel

de 4 800 animaux!

Le conseil d’administration s’engage à

s’adapter à ces changements et à évaluer les

besoins de l’association dans son ensemble.

La poursuite de la croissance de ce degré

nécessite une planification importante des

ressources et du développement de la race, en

se concentrant sur une planification proactive

pour réussir en période d’élan rapide.

Connue à l’origine comme une petite race,

identifiée par son motif de couleur unique

et son héritage canadien, nous devons

continuer à aller de l’avant et à conquérir

des plus grandes parts de marché. En tant

que race, nous devons nous concentrer

sur la collecte de données quantitatives

pour justifier les mérites de la race. Il est

impératif que nous fournissions des preuves

fiables pour gagner le respect des éleveurs

commerciaux, des parcs d’engraissement

et des éleveurs pur-sang chevronnés afin

d’encourager l’investissement dans la

génétique Speckle Park.

Plusieurs transitions majeures ont pris

place au cours de l’an dernier pour la

race tel le changement de microsatellite

aux tests génomiques SNP pour l’ADN, le

développement des EPD et le changement

de marque d’identité aux fins de marketing.

Merci de votre patience alors que nous

poursuivons la transition génomique.

Votre support envers les juniors est

impressionnant. Un total de $28,700 a été

amassé pour la génisse qui a été donnée au

programme. En tant qu’association, nous

reconnaissons que l’avenir de l’agriculture

elle-même dépend de la relève. Trouver des

moyens de favoriser la croissance à l’aide

de programmes dévoués à la prochaine

génération est non seulement important

pour notre race, mais tout autant pour la

durabilité à long terme du secteur de la

viande bovine.

N’oubliez pas que l’assemblée générale

annuelle aura lieu à Saskatoon, en

Saskatchewan, du 19 au 21 juin. Nous

espérons vous voir en grand nombre et

mettre à l’œuvre la prochaine phase du

voyage Speckle Park!

throughout the past decade. He

registered nearly 500 direct progeny

in Canada and Australia alone, not

and Europe. Many of these calves

have topped sales for their breeders,

including Wattle Grove Project A

L264, who sold in Wattle Grove

Speckle Park’s 2016 sale and set an

Australian record at AUD$30,000.

Wattle Grove Codiak Magic K9 sold

for AUD$25,000 after capturing

the 2016 Sydney Royal Speckle Park

Supreme Exhibit title and the 2016

Queensland Royal Show Champion

Bull. Son Codiak Captaine 5C was

the high seller in the 2017 Summit

we look for a lot of things in our herd,”

says Dale Humphries, Wattle Grove

Speckle Park. “Putnam ticks all the

boxes, and more. He’s a true breed legend.”

champion in 2010 and 2011, and the only Speckle Park bull to ever make the

top ten in the RBC Supreme Beef Challenge at Canadian Western Agribition,

Walker has also sired multiple champions, including the 2012 Canadian

River Hill 26T Yager 99Y has made his mark walking the pastures of several

premier herds. Codiak Acres acquired part ownership in Yager 99Y from River

Belmoral Farms purchased him in 2014; Don Bell says he sires uniform,

correct females with very tight, tidy udders, enough milk to raise a good calf,

and good feet. Though Yager’s daughters and granddaughters stand out in

many pastures, Bell believes the sire’s legacy may be in his sons. “He has sired

some top bulls, not only in Canada, but also internationally,” says Bell. “We are using sons

with great results – time will tell, but we expect the same positive results. He’s really bred

beyond our expectations.”

RIVER HILL 26T KINDLE 17X was

selected by Eme Artemenko, who took

her in 4-H for two years, following

which time she was then turned out

to breed with Sunrise Ranch’s herd.

She has been flushed on more than

one occasion, and was proven to be

very fertile and a very good mother

cow herself. “She rebreeds every year

and raises one of the top calves,” Rita

Artemenko notes. “We like her so much

that we have based our herd on her.”

Upto Specs Willa 17W has toured

26 progeny under 7 prefixes. INC

Cattle Co. acquired Willa in 2017.

“At INC, it has always been our focus to

breed high-capacity, power-built females

without ever sacrificing traits such as

maternal predisposition, temperament,

structural soundness, or longevity,” says

Rob Harasymchuk. “Upto Specs Willa

17W hits all these marks, with a hammer.

It is our belief that providing this type

and kind of female to both commercial

and purebred breeders alike is essential

to the sustainability of Speckle Park as

a whole.” Already, her offspring have

marked her place in history. Son

The Star Bank Theta 42T cow family

is known for their correct feet and

Though Theta gained fame as the

2013 Canadian National Grand

much earlier. “Back in 2007, she stood

out to me in a pen of heifers,” says Jason

Goodfellow, Notta Ranch. “I knew her

sire, Spots ‘N Sprouts Nefrom 101N, who

had produced some stand-out cattle in the

short time Star Bank used him. Once we

knew the milking power of Star Bank

Theta 42T, she was put to work in the

donor pen. Perhaps the best combination

THEFUTURE

FORWARD

charting the course for the next decade


After receiving official breed status

in Canada 2006, Speckle Park nearly

tripled in size from 2010 through 2019,

both in terms of annual registrations

and memberships. It is now the fastestgrowing

breed both at home and in

Australia, and there are cattle registered

in nearly ten countries around the

world – an impressive accomplishment

for a breed humbly developed on the

Canadian prairies.

As a new decade begins, Speckle Park

breeders and commercial users have

much to look forward to in terms of

breed development, market expansion,

and enhanced Canadian Speckle Park

Association member services.

The CSPA board is in the midst of

creating a five-year plan to measure

performance and growth, says General

Manager Whitney De Decker. Breeders

are working on gathering and submitting

data for the association’s new genetic

evaluation program. Ultimately, Expected

Progeny Differences for Speckle Park

will be available to allow breeders and

commercial users the ability to compare

animals’ genetic potential and make

better-informed breeding decisions.

In addition, De Decker says the CSPA

is working to collect “quantitative data

that will substantiate proof point of the

breed that we use as marketing tools,

such as ultrasound, carcass data, feedlot

performance, and bull test stations.” For

their members, the association plans

to maintain ongoing focus to enhance

online registration abilities, while working

toward the implementation of a Total

Herd Enrolment program.

In this period of exponential growth and progression, Speckle Park breeders have high aspirations for the future.

The Speckle Park Journal spoke with several to hear their vision for the next ten years

QUESTION ONE

What priorities will your operation

be focused on for the next decade?

QUESTION TWO

Where do you see the Speckle Park

breed in ten years?

on the table in order to put the breed in the

mainstream of cattle production. If the breed

continues to focus on expanding the numbers

and genetics, all the while maintaining the

integrity of the important attributes and

qualities of the breed, it will continue to catch

the attention of cattle producers – young

or old, new or established, and big or small

operations – in ten years, making Speckle

Park a household name in the cattle industry.

DESERT ACRES

Tracey Foster Duriez

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C., CANADA

REPLY TO QUESTION ONE // Being a relatively

new breeder of registered, purebred Speckle

Park cattle (2017), our goal is to build a herd

of females and bulls that is consistent in

type and functionality, but with diversity in

genetics. We want show high-calibre Speckle

Park cattle that are also topping the market

in carcass results. Our goal is to have Desert

Acres-bred cattle showing at Canadian

Western Agribition and standing toe-to-toe

with some of the best, and to sell our genetics

to customers around the world. Some would

say that is a big vision to accomplish in ten

years, but I love big dreams and aspirations,

along with the journey to achieving them! I

was told by my parents from a very young

age, “No matter what you do in life, do it to

the best of your ability!”

REPLY TO QUESTION TWO // We see the

Speckle Park breed becoming synonymous

with the highest-quality meat on the market.

Speckle park cattle will no longer be looked at

as the “new breed” or a “fad,” but as a top-ofthe-line

beef supplier for high-end restaurants

and steakhouses. The breed needs to move

forward to getting more Speckle Park meat

INC CATTLE CO.

Rob & Janice Harasymchuk

SASKATOON, S.K., CANADA

REPLY TO QUESTION ONE // To those

watching from the outside, the evolution

of Speckle Park must be something to behold.

In a matter of a few short years the

breed has transformed from a handful of

pretty, spotted cows – a novelty, really –

to mainstream acceptance, to new breed

dominance, world wide, with unparalleled

growth numbers. The INC program is committed

to this continued development.

Our program will focus on milk production

and udder improvement, feet and frame

score, as well as increasing testicular size

and consistency. Our marketing strategy will

remain fixed on

[CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE]


THEFUTURE

expanding numbers in the U.S.A.

and establishing this vast market.

The combination of great cattle and

vigorous promotion will ensure

exponential growth south of the

border in the next decade.

REPLY TO QUESTION TWO // We

believe it is paramount that as a breed, we

hold ourselves to a higher standard when

it comes to animal improvement. We must

be relentless in our culling process and

remain vigilant to the betterment of the

breed, otherwise we will simply be known as

another flash in the pan and will fall by the

wayside like so many others before. We feel

the next ten years are crucial in both breed

development and securing new markets.

PARKVALE SPECKLE PARK

Robbie Clark

NORTH CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND

REPLY TO QUESTION ONE // Our priorities will

be to grow our female base with the focus on

breeding well-structured animals with good

figures that will produce functional bulls for

both the beef and dairy industries within New

Zealand. The New Zealand dairy industry is

embracing Speckle

Park for their colour

marking, vigorous

nature, and great

meat qualities. We

want to deliver a

lower-birthweight

sire with good

growth and IMF

to meet the needs

of this growing

sector. Our biggest

challenge in the

next ten years in

Australasia as beef

producers, apart from the climate, will be from

environmentalists. We have to embrace this

change and adapt our operations to minimise

our environmental footprint and produce

premium products. Speckle Park can deliver

on this and we will be promoting Speckle Park

beef to the commercial producer, focusing on


their great traits to yield highly, mature early,

and easily convert feed from our 100 percent

pasture-based systems into premium meat.

REPLY TO QUESTION TWO // In the New

Zealand dairy industry, I see Speckle Park

being one of the major players as a crossbred

beef sire. We are already seeing exciting

results and great demand for Speckle Park

beef through meat processors, butchers and

restaurants, and in ten years, with the growing

number of studs and increasing commercial

producers, I see Speckle Park becoming a

sought after beef breed in both New Zealand,

and on the international stage.

WALKERBRAE FARMS

Scott Walker

GUELP, ONT., CANADA

REPLY TO QUESTION ONE // We feel that there

is room in the breed to improve udders and

milk production. We’d also like to focus on

breeding a larger framed cow because that’s

what the market dictates.

When you are competing with larger framed

cattle in the market place, as a purebred

breeder you still need to keep in mind what the

cow calf operator wants as well as the feedlot

operator. There should be a balance between

form and function. A good old stockman told

me once that, since the beef breeds don’t have

a true type model to go by, you should use the

original true type Holstein Freisian model as a

goal to strive for.

REPLY TO QUESTION TWO // We would like to

see the market expanded into other countries.

This can be achieved by taking advantage of

the Speckle Park’ uniqueness of having black

and red cattle since the beginning of the breed.

Due to the climate of some countries, they

prefer red cattle, so why not start to register

them and create another marketing tool?

By not registering them we may be missing

out on the next great bull that could take the

breed to the next level, just because he’s red.

The focus should be quality over colour.

We also feel that the genetic pool needs to be

widened. If it isn’t widened, our concern is that

all the time and effort dedicated to developing

Speckle Park could be all for nothing because

of the negative effects of inbreeding. One

way to achieve this is to open the registry to

the red Speckle Park. Another way would be

some form of opening the herdbook. We need

to continue to focus on the positives of the

breed. With the continued guidance and open

mindedness of a strong board of directors the

sky is the limit to what this breed can offer

many producers around the world.

WARATAH SPECKLE PARK

Laiton Turnham

GUYRA, NSW, AUSTRALIA

REPLY TO QUESTION ONE // At Waratah

Speckle Park, our farming operation has

always been focused on the commercial side

of Speckles; to make this breed even greater

than it is now, you need to make it more

popular with more beef producers! As the

number of Speckle Park cattle grows, so do

the opportunities for the purebred breeders,

through to the commercial guys, and then

to the processors who still can’t get enough

Speckle Park to supply to the consumer! Our

goal and our focus is to breed Speckle Park

cattle that out-perform our competitors and

taste great to the consumer.

REPLY TO QUESTION TWO // Most people

overestimate what can be achieved in one year,

but underestimate what can be achieved in ten

years. With that in mind, to see where Speckle

Park will be in ten years, we should look at

the past! In the past ten years in Australia,

Speckle Park have gone from a virtuallyunknown

breed to the fastest-growing beef

breed in the country. Of the 33 breed societies

in Australia, in 2019 the Speckle Park society

ranked in the top ten for registered members.

At Waratah, we started 11 years ago with 22

stud calves born, and in 2018 we had over 300

stud calves born. If we can achieve this in the

first ten years, imagine what can be achieved

in the next decade. The future is huge for the

Speckle Park breed.

WATSON LAND

& LIVESTOCK INC.

Peter Watson

BRANCHTON, ONT., CANADA

REPLY TO QUESTION ONE // For the next

decade we will continue to focus on breeding

females with good udders, ample milk, and

great feet and legs, that will be able to raise

calves trouble-free for many years. We also

plan to use the genetic testing to make more

informed breeding decisions.

REPLY TO QUESTION TWO // In the next

ten years, I think that the Speckle Park breed

will be sought after by feedlots for their feed

conversion, and by commercial cow/calf

operators for maternal females that can handle

any type of environment.

HERDCONSULT

resuscitating

calves

In both the beef and dairy industries, producers have

discussed many ideas among themselves regarding the best

ways to stimulate a weak calf that perhaps doesn’t want to

breathe. With calving season just around the corner, this

is a good time to explore techniques and get the calving

maternity area supplied and stocked up. I will share some of

my experiences as to what works and what doesn’t, and also

highlight procedures that are worth performing and others

that are a waste of time. None require a lot of expense, and

saving one extra calf converts into dollars down the line, not

to mention it is doing the right thing.

The need to stimulate calves should be the exception in

today’s cow-calf operations. Calving problems have been

greatly reduced, so unless it is a difficult birth or there has

been a delay in getting the calf out, such as a full breech

presentation, resuscitation shouldn’t be a routine occurrence.

There are many reasons calves may be

born weak, and recognizing when these

conditions could occur will help you

be more prepared. Malpresentations,

torsions, harder pulls, and meconium

staining create an increased possibility

of the calf coming out weak, which

means time is of the essence. Other

potential causes may include a cow

experiencing weight loss due to sickness,

or abnormalities during pregnancy.

Alternatively, a cow losing body condition

in late pregnancy could be carrying twins.

After any assisted calving it is a good idea

to carefully examine the uterus for tears

or another calf. If you find a second calf,

assist in its delivery immediately.

I have also seen the need to resuscitate

when the water bag fails to break, as calves

can drown in as little as one cup of fetal

fluids. It isn’t always the result of a delayed

birth – even calves born naturally with

the water bag over the mouth may need

resuscitation. This can also happen in a

very quick birth in which the water bag

has not had enough force on it to break.

Watch for these cases as well.

There are several forms of resuscitation

or easing newborn calves’ breathing. If you

see there is a strong heartbeat, the goal is

then to establish breathing and oxygenate

the blood. One thing we know for sure

is that hanging calves to drain fluid out

does no good, and in fact, actually makes

it much more difficult for the calf to

breathe as all the organs are pushed down

by gravity onto the lungs. The fluid that

does come out is generally draining out

from the stomachs (rumen). You are much

better to get the calf sitting up in a froglegged

position with both back legs pulled

forward. This way, both lungs can get air

equally as much, as would happen with a

standing calf. Extend the neck forward to

open up the airways and then go to work

with what I will now describe.

Wipe away any large amounts of mucous

around the mouth. There are some good calf resuscitators

that simply bathe the area in extra oxygen, which helps if

breathing is not strong. Some of these provide suction as

well. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is ineffective, as the air

simply goes down the esophagus and inflates the stomach –

it doesn’t get into the lungs where it needs to go.

If breathing is slow with a stronger heartbeat, you are

best to stimulate breathing by either sticking a piece of

straw into the nostril, pouring cold water in the ear, or

putting cold snow in the ear to essentially irritate the

calf and get it going. Try the straw on a normal calving

sometime to see the quick response you get.

If there is no response, the calf is in trouble. The only

thing I have found that works is a respiratory stimulant; this

used to be Dopram or Doxapram, but now some clinics need

to get it formulated by a pharmacist. Your veterinarian can


look for respiratory stimulants and hopefully find one, but

will need to prescribe it to you as it may only be approved for

other species. In order for it to be useful, it must be close by

in your calving kit and readily accessible. Just a few seconds

at this critical point may make the difference, so it’s advisable

to have the dosage for a calf drawn up and ready to go.

If you are getting a large number of weak calves, there

are several factors to consider in the herd management. Is

intervention too slow, especially in the case of heifers? Once the

calving process has started and regardless of if the waterbag

has been broken, time is a ticking. A common misconception

with producers is they have lots of time if the waterbag has

not been broken and that simply isn’t true. Intervention in

Mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation is ineffective,

as the air simply goes

down the esophagus and

inflates the stomach – it

doesn’t get into the lungs

where it needs to go.

Dr. Roy Lewis, DVM

practiced as a large animal veterinarian

specializing in beef cattle for more than

30 years at Westlock, Alta. He now

works part time as a technical services

veterinarian for Merck Animal Health.

1-1.5 hours is a good

rule if no progress has

been made.

With breech births (calf

is backward with both

hind legs presenting)

and torsions, we know

often that time is

running out, so being

ready to stimulate the

calf is imperative. In such situations, once the tail head of the

calf comes through the pelvis, the umbilical cord is essentially

broken and the calf will try to start breathing. This is where

a faster pull from that point on will save calves, and is why it’s

recommended to always assist a backward calf when possible.

If placenta is starting to come first, again, time is critical

and it may already be too late, but attempt to get the calf

out as quickly as possible.

Weak calves may also be the result of nutrition, vitamin, or

mineral deficiencies, or imbalances. Strive to make sure that

body condition score is maintained on both cows and heifers,

and that they are on a good mineral and vitamin program.

These deficiencies develop as the calf is growing in utero,

and are not a quick fix to reverse. As examples, selenium

deficiencies can lead to the weak calf syndrome and iodine

deficiencies can cause a goiter and weak or stillborn calves.

If a calf is born dead, or weak and dies soon after birth, a

lot can be learned by a postmortem and having tissues sent

away to help with the diagnosis. This could shed light on

potential problems and allow time to correct them.

One last word of advice on delivering a calf and

preempting the need to resuscitate: check the viability of

the calf by putting fingers in their mouth to evaluate how

good the swallowing or gag reflex is. If it is very weak,

you can be sure the calf will be sluggish when delivered.

Also, if the calf is overly active and thrashing around, this

could be a sign that they are in distress and are oxygen

deprived. Try to get them out as quickly as possible and

then use your resuscitation skills as necessary.

In summary, be ready with effective resuscitation

techniques and be ever vigilant of the cases that may

predispose newborn calves to need reviving. With the

right tools, you and your veterinarian can save more

newborn calves this spring. SPJ
