Canada's Finest Speckle Park Cattle
Trestle Creek breeds Speckle Park cattle with superior genetics, proven performance, and a family commitment to excellence — quality, not quantity.
Crafting Excellence with a Personal Touch
Our philosophy is simple: focus on quality, not quantity. Our herd, though modest in size, stands as a beacon of excellence. Each Speckle Park cow in our care is a product of meticulous breeding, chosen for its robust stature, commanding presence, and exceptional milk production.
This careful selection ensures that every animal reflects our high standards and contributes to the superior quality of our breed.
Built on Good Genetics. Focused on the Future.
We believe good cattle come from good management — strong genetics, proper care, and good land stewardship. That's what drives us every day and what shows in the cattle we produce.
See Our Cattle —Farming is a Family Symphony
Farming is in our blood, and at Trestle Creek, every family member plays a role. Our four children have been involved in every facet of farm life, from nurturing broiler breeder chickens to managing dairy and cash crops.
We started with 8 Simmental crosses and a rented barn — fast forward 10 years, 2 farm moves, and a whole herd of Speckle Park later. Every move we made, the cows followed.
