Due to the exposure that BEEF EXPO IRELAND gave to Irish breeders, Speckle Park cattle have now been introduced to another country, having only been in North America, Ireland and Australia. Matt Smith and Vicky Maynard from Exeter in Devon came to EXPO and purchased two heifers.
Glencardon Ursiline the property of Denis Carey, Carrignavar, Co.Cork and Whitewell Una the property of Jim and Ivan Ryall Castlemartyr, Co.Cork were second and fourth respectively in their class at Kilkenny.
Ursiline and Una were part of a batch of embryos imported from Canada by the Irish Speckle Park Cattle Society in April 2007. Irish Speckle Park Cattle Society will register any UK born calves in their herd book until a British society is formed.
