Speckle Park | Herd Sires & Females

Speckle Park cattle are quickly becoming a top choice for modern cattle producers who value quality, efficiency, and strong genetics. Known for their distinctive speckled coats, Speckle Park cattle offer excellent feed conversion, calm temperament, and impressive carcass traits. At Trestle Creek Speckle Park, the focus is on ethical breeding, herd health, and consistent performance. These cattle adapt well to different climates and are ideal for both small farms and large operations.

‘Livestock farmers often claim that grazing ‘mimics nature.’ If so, the mimicry is a crude caricature. Nature has no fences. It’s food webs tend to be deeper and wider than any human-managed system. A review of evidence from over 100 studies found that when livestock are removed from the land, the abundance and diversity of almost all groups of wild animals increases. There are more predators, more wild herbivores, more pollinators (…) Where there are cattle, there are fewer wild mammals, birds, reptiles and insects on the land, and fewer fish in the rivers.’ George Monbiot, Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet #grazing #earthfocus #cattleranching #livestockfarming #wildlifeconservation #preservationmatters #biodiversity #nature_of_our_world (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci24UB3JUK9JNYgC9Nr1e05PmPcOOtDA8G3B280/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the amazonia situation, know it.

The fight against climate change is already so challenging as it is. Without the cooperation of both non-government organisation, the government and the people no real change can happen. The devastation that is currently happening in Amazonia is a devastating blow the fight on climate change and it is deeply upsetting, but before real change can happen, people must understand what is really happening. Here is a run-down:

A forest that creates over 20% of the world’s oxygen is rapidly burning, yet there is little media coverage, and even less action being taken from governments, either Brazilian or international. Why is it burning? The answer is simple and not surprising: animal agriculture. Why is the burning continuing to rage and wreck havoc on the Brazilian environment: President Jair Bolsonaro (Captain Chainsaw) champions deforestation efforts and has promised to cut rainforest protections.

In less than a week INPE, Brazil’s space research centre recorded 10,000 new fires, majority being clustered inside the Amazonian basin. Why are all these new fires popping up, you might ask. It’s because cattle ranchers deliberately start illegal fires to make room for more animals. Under  Captain Chainsaw’s leadership, in July 2019 alone, the rate at which the Amazon rainforest destruction was nearly 300% higher than the same month in 2019 and many feel that this disregard for environmental protection is what is inspiring farmers to take over land in the Amazon by ANY means necessary.

However, Bolsonaro deflects the fires from himself and claims that "NGO’s could be burning down the Amazon rainforest to embarrass his government after he cut their funding”.

Paul F. Starrs, Let the Cowboy Ride: Cattle Ranching in the American West (Johns Hopkins, 1998)

“‘Ranching,’ comments Wallace Stegner, ‘is one of the few western occupations that have been renewable and have produced a continuing way of life.’” (155)

“But if physiography offered a long-prevailing terminology for the Intermountain West, a regional analysis based on settlement processes is more distinctive, useful, and precise. Transport, funds available for investment, demography, and land availability are perennial themes in settlement history.” (182)

“For many of the employees of the Forest Service and the BLM there are two cogent realities. First, they did not grow up in the sorts of places they have moved to in order to do their jobs. Second, and at least as important, these federal employees find a significant part of their reward in living in the sorts of places that they originally came to know about from books and in classrooms. Firsthand knowledge is not so great as once was the case.” (190)
