What type of domesticated animal is a Speckle Park?

The Speckle Park cattle are a Canadian breed that is kept primarily for their good quality beef. They have a unique coloring pattern which combines speckled hindquarters, a solid coat, broken by a line down their spine and usually a white underbelly with a white, black or roan face. They are a very easy breed to care for and maintain they are also easy to handle.

Speckle Park cattle were developed in Canada in both Saskatchewan and Alberta provinces. They were developed over a 50-year period to become a distinct pure-bred breed with their herd book now being closed as stipulated by the Canadian Animal Pedigree Act.

The breeds lineage is British based and is primarily from the black Angus, Teeswater Shorthorn and a white bull with colored points that is unidentified.

They are often described as the 'beef breed with the color bonus' as they come in a variety of color patterns.
