Thread: Wagyu calves

Best dairy beef we have done would have to be Speckle Park by a long shot. They throw well marked calves with strong beef traits, you couldn't tell most of them apart from a Speck/Speck despite coming out of a Holstein dam. They're always good strong calves that are very easy to rear and weight gain is impressive. They're never the biggest animals but the economics of feed in vs weight on the hook always looks good and works pay a premium for skins. Heifers are great mums and we haven't had any trouble getting calves out of them. We have had occasions where the saleyards weren't looking too flash yet lifestylers and and small run holders can't get enough of them due to their aesthetically pleasing look so it's always easy to move them through private sales. The original breed was developed through Angus and Shorthorn cross so they produce a great steak and are a lot quieter than Angus and shorthorns are some of the hardiest cattle out there so they thrive well
