Beef shorthorn vs Speckle park.

[Dunnock1987]

Hello, on a farm on Ireland and looking to get a new bull for my heifers for first carvings. Most of them are Hereford’s and two Belgian blue cross. This will be the first time I have put them in calf.
I was wondering what you’s think would be better a beef shorthorn bull or a speckle park, pros and cons too both??

Have had Angus herds previously, lovely animals and easy breeding but fancy a change.

Think speckles are just an Angus cross shorthorn anyway

Speckle Park.

Good originating country

Cons would be it’s probably easier to find a good Shorthorn bull.

But a SP should keep horns knocked back. Could have some horns pop up with a Shorthorn.
