00:00Today is the supreme exhibit of the Speckled Park Show.

00:03It's about 28 months and 990 kilos.

00:07What are you going to use the bull for?

00:08Andrew and Donita retain him in their stud.

00:11We'll lay a few cows in our own program to him.

00:14We'll use him as a herd tie, I suppose.

00:16He's been a pretty successful bull on the show circuit.

00:19Where else has he had success?

00:20We took him up to Brisbane for the feature show

00:22where he was the grand champion bull there.

00:25And then he was the grand champion here last year as a young bull.

00:28So he's had a good show career.

00:30And why do you think Speckled Parks are doing so well on the show circuit?

00:34And what's their place in the Australian beef industry?

00:37I think they're early maturing and they suit that supermarket trade pretty well.

00:42So early maturing and easy doing sort of cattle that convert feed easily.

00:47So I suppose that's why they're getting widely used now.
