Welcome to the new generation at Edgeroi Organics!
At Edgeroi Organics, the excitement is palpable as we proudly announce the arrival of the first progeny from our esteemed purebred Speckle Park bull, ‘Rambling Man.’ Purchased at the inaugural North West NSW Speckle Park sale at the Tamworth Regional Livestock Exchange in 2022, Rambling Man, or as Martine affectionately calls him – Handsome, has truly left his mark on our farm.
Rambling Man’s debut: A Handsome beginning
Bred at Panorama Farms Speckle Park stud, Turrawan, Handsome sired his first progeny in late 2023, marking a significant milestone for Edgeroi Organics. The anticipation was met with joy as we welcomed a cohort of predominantly heifer calves, each adorned with a variety of distinctive Speckle Park patterning.
Meet the new arrivals: Pumpkin and Cucumber
Pumpkin, Handsome’s first heifer calf born in late 2023, immediately captured our hearts. With a Limousine cow as her mother, Pumpkin’s striking dark brown markings earned her the name, reminiscent of the light orange/brown hue she displayed when first born.
Next in line is Cucumber, born in January 2024. Another of Handsome’s heifer calves, Cucumber’s mother is a Limousine Murray Grey cross. Named by Alex to complement her sister Pumpkin, Cucumber brings an extra layer of charm to our growing Speckle Park family.
The heir: A handsome bull calf emerges
Adding a touch of masculinity to the mix is Handsome’s first bull calf, born to a Speckle Park cow purchased in 2022. This young fellow promises to carry on the legacy, embodying the desirable traits that make Speckle Park cattle stand out.
Radish and the vegetable theme
Enter Radish, a heifer calf born in December 2023 to Hoppity, a Speckle Park cow purchased in calf in 2022. Following the vegetatable theme for names, Radish joins the lineup with her unique charm and Speckle Park allure.
Conclusion: A promising future
As we witness the first calf drop from Rambling Man’s progeny, we can’t help but feel a sense of pride and anticipation for the future. These strong and healthy calves, displaying the desired Speckle Park traits, embody the success of our breeding program at Edgeroi Organics. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to nurture and grow our Speckle Park family, with each calf bringing its own unique story to the rich tapestry of life on our farm. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer or just a fan of the farm, join us on this journey of growth, heritage, and the joy that new life brings to Edgeroi Organics!
