Upto Specs Willa 17W has toured
Canada and left her mark, with
26 progeny under 7 prefixes. INC
Cattle Co. acquired Willa in 2017.
“At INC, it has always been our focus to
breed high-capacity, power-built females
without ever sacrificing traits such as
maternal predisposition, temperament,
structural soundness, or longevity,” says
Rob Harasymchuk. “Upto Specs Willa
17W hits all these marks, with a hammer.
It is our belief that providing this type
and kind of female to both commercial
and purebred breeders alike is essential
to the sustainability of Speckle Park as
a whole.” Already, her offspring have
marked her place in history. Son
INC Six Gun 428F was the 2018
Manitoba AgEx Grand Champion
Bull at his first show out, and a
month later took home the National
Reserve Bull Calf Champion banner
and sold half interest and full
possession in the 2018 Canadian
National Sale for $20,000.

River Hill Snap Shot 60M
River Hill Show Me Off 60S has been
a cornerstone in the River Hill Farm
herd, and impacted many others,
producing several of the breed’s
most recognizable names. Her son,
River Hill 26T Walker 60W, is the
only Speckle Park to make top ten
in the RBC Supreme Challenge at
Canadian Western Agribition, and
himself is one of the top five sires of
the 2010s. She also produced River
Hill 50U All In 60A, a champion
himself who is siring progeny that
are collecting banners and topping
sales; River Hill 50T Shomi-Off 60F
and River Hill 68L Show Me Off
94F, two upcoming donor females,
and most recently, one of the highselling
heifers in the 2019 Canadian
National Sale. “Show Me Off 60S has
been proven to add power, structure,
udder, and maternal traits mated to any
sire,” says Cory Ducherer, River Hill
Farm. “She is a guaranteed hit with
every calf that has ever hit the ground!”

The Star Bank Theta 42T cow family
is known for their correct feet and
legs, depth of rib, and dimension.
Though Theta gained fame as the
2013 Canadian National Grand
Champion Female, her story began
much earlier. “Back in 2007, she stood
out to me in a pen of heifers,” says Jason
Goodfellow, Notta Ranch. “I knew her
sire, Spots ‘N Sprouts Nefrom 101N, who
had produced some stand-out cattle in the
short time Star Bank used him. Once we
knew the milking power of Star Bank
Theta 42T, she was put to work in the
donor pen. Perhaps the best combination
to date is a Notta 1B Hawkeye 444E son
that was on display at the 2020 National
Western Stock Show, Notta 444E Armani
555G,” Goodfellow continues. “Her
legacy will live on through her progeny that
have been purchased by several influential
breeders worldwide.”
