The Canadian Speckle Park Association annual general meeting will take place July 4-6, 2025, in Truro, N.S. In addition to the AGM, the association is planning exciting tours and a junior event, making this a great opportunity to connect, learn and celebrate the breed. More details will be available soon.

The association has launched a branded tag program for visual recognition of Speckle Park cattle. Two Allflex tag styles are available in yellow, blue, pink and red. Orders require ownership of a registered Speckle Park bull, and tagged calves must have at least 50 per cent registered Speckle Park genetics. Order online at canadianspecklepark.ca.

The SPX Jackpot Show will debut at Canadian Western Agribition 2026, providing a new platform to showcase the value of Speckle Park-influenced cattle. The show is open to calendar-year commercial cattle sired by a registered Speckle Park bull or out of a registered Speckle Park female. All genetics must be purchased from a qualified breeder.
