Farming for our family’s future.

Located in Northland, Below Sea Level is one of the largest Speckle Park breeders in New Zealand. We are proud to partner with Speckle Park studs in both Australia and Canada, sourcing high quality genetics, some of which are the first to be seen here in New Zealand.

The Bellamy family have been breeding cattle for over 35 years in Northland and farming on the current property for 30 years. The Speckle Park stud is run alongside a 600 friesian dairy cow herd on just over 500 HA. The ultimate goal was to find a beef breed to go over the tail end of the dairy herd that ticked all the boxes.
The Bellamy family intend on having a hands on approach to the Speckle Park cattle genetics going forward.

✔ Low birthweight
✔ Early gestation

BREEDPLAN

In 2020, we achieved our Silver Standard for the “Completeness of Performance” herd rating system. This summarises the quantity of pedigree and performance information that has been submitted to BREEDPLAN by us. This information underpins the accuracy of the Estimated Breeding Values [EBV]. This herd rating system was developed in Australia. When we started our stud we started recording weights and scanning results with BREEDPLAN and this has certainly paid off. We have done our utmost to DNA all of our Speckle Park cattle and this is in conjunction with our Friesian herd which has had DNA completed for a considerable number of years. We take pride in the accuracy of our herd recording and are working towards Gold Standard.
