A close up photograph of a Speckle Park cow on a farm in central western NSW, Australia. The Canadian Speckle Park is a breed of cattle native to the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is one of only a few beef cattle breeds developed in Canada. The latter half of the breeds name derives from the characteristic white, black and grey spots and patches of color that it's known for. The Canadian Speckle Park is one of the newest cattle breeds, having been officially recognized by the Canadian government in 2006. A breed association was formed in 1985, and exports of Canadian Speckle Park to the U.S. and Australia have occurred. Work on breeding the Canadian Speckle Park began in the 1950s with the crossing of an crossbred heifer of roan Shorthorn descent to a Black Angus bull. The spotting became a dominant trait in the offspring, and the beginnings of a new breed emerged. Descended solely from British beef breeds, it is naturally polled and inherits many of the characteristics of popular cattle like the Angus.
