VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS

Charolais Contributions to a Beef on Dairy Program

A breed of choice for dairy producers In early May, I traveled to Lubbock, Texas to participate in a Beef x Dairy Symposium hosted by Dr. Dale Woerner and Dr. Brad Johnson at Texas Tech University. This three-day symposium started on May 10th with a bus tour of calf nurseries (also known as “calf ranches”) and cattle feedyards in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Our first stop on the tour was at Desert View Dairy located near Texico, New Mexico where the owners milk Holstein x Jersey cross cows and manage 35,000 calf hutches that make-up what they refer to as a “calf ranch”. The 35,000 hutches house Jersey x Limousin calves from the time they are a few days old until they are approximately 90 days-ofage. These Jersey x Limousin calves are part of a larger program known as “Beef on Dairy” where beef breeds are crossed on dairy breeds to produce feeder cattle who are heavier muscled, faster growing and more efficient (the ability to produce a pound of meat from fewer pounds of grain than other breeds) than their mothers who are predominantly from dairy genetics. Because

rapidly to their ideal harvest weight, those breeds who produce muscular carcasses with more shape in the round than a typical dairy carcass, and those breeds who produce a high percentage of carcasses that grade Choice or higher with minimal percentages of Yield Grade 4s and 5s. In the afternoon of May 10th, our tour buses drove back into West Texas where we visited several feedyards who are now feeding a high percentage of calves produced in the Beef on Dairy program. Although a small percentage of the cattle we looked at still showed visual evidence of their dairy genetics, most of the Beef on Dairy cattle looked very similar to feedlot cattle without dairy blood in their pedigree. Several of us on the bus trip commented that one pen of Jersey x Limousin or LimFlex cattle were as good as any pen of market cattle we saw all day. As I wrote in the February Journal, “Charolais and Charolais influenced cattle have a significant advantage in the feedyard.” This statement is also true for Charolais x Jersey and

Dairy producers are purchasing semen and beef bulls from breeds who are known to grow rapidly to their ideal harvest weight, those breeds who produce muscular carcasses with more shape in the round than a typical dairy carcass, and those breeds who produce a high percentage of carcasses that grade Choice or higher with minimal percentages of Yield Grade 4s and 5s. of their rapid growth from birth to harvest weight, their feed efficiency and their inherent muscling; Charolais and Charolaisinfluenced cattle provide a complimentary breed to cross with Holstein and Jersey cows and heifers who are known to produce a high degree of marbling, which is the intramuscular fat found within the muscle that gives meat its desirable flavor. Jersey cattle are well known for having shorter gestation lengths and thus, lower birth weight calves. Holstein cattle are known to produce offspring who stay lean to a heavy weight, but who need the muscle shape and efficiency from Charolaisinfluenced genetics to produce feeder cattle with greater market value. At the end of the day, progressive dairy producers are breeding their highest indexing cows to sexed dairy semen to produce their own replacement heifers. These same breeders are now turning to beef breeds to cross on the majority of their dairy heifers and cows. According to the dairy producers who spoke at the symposium in Lubbock, they are relying on the breeds of beef cattle who compliment their dairy cows by providing those traits needed to produce feeder calves who are in high demand by cattle feeders and packers. Dairy producers are purchasing semen and beef bulls from breeds who are known to grow

Charolais x Holstein cattle in the feedyard. “First and foremost, these cattle are very efficient at converting feed to gain. This efficiency is partially derived from the Charolais advantage in muscularity and their ability to produce carcasses with large ribeyes per hundred weight. Charolais-influenced cattle tend to be leaner (less fat) at heavier market weights than some breeds.” Thus, Charolais-influenced cattle (including those crossed with dairy breeds) should produce a lower percentage of Yield Grade 4 and 5 carcasses, making them a breed of choice for dairy producers seeking a beef breed to cross on their dairy cows and heifers. As Charolais breeders, you are blessed to raise cattle who excel in numerous attributes and who cross well with a long list of other breeds, including dairy breeds! As we approach the summer months, I look forward to meeting numerous Charolais enthusiasts at the 2022 AIJCA Junior National. Kaitlyn tells me we have a record number of entries which should result in a fun week in Grand Island, Nebraska. As you know, the future of the Charolais breed lies with our youth and I enjoy supporting them whenever I get a chance. Best of luck and safe travels to everyone headed to Char-Cation!

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

Enter Weight Data Online.

Log in with your breeder number and password. Hold your cursor on the “my performance” tab. Members with enrolled females can enter weaning and yearling weights from the animal list. We offer both individual entry and list entry. Make sure each calf has a record by using the “calving” button. Udder and Teat scores can be added in the “calving” section. Dam Docility score and Body Condition score can be added at Weaning. Contact AICA if you have questions. Year letter for 2022 is K

Record your 2022 born calves using AICA’s online system. Add the data as the calves are born; continue to update the records as you add weaning and yearling data. Register the calves at any time by adding their name. Registration Fee Changes

Registration- all herdbooks 0-4 months $16 5-12 months $22 13-24 months $38 Over 24 Month $50 Whole Herd RewardsBefore April 1- $16 Between April 2- April 30- $22 After May 1- $36 Reactivation of Disposed Animals- $36 Export Your Data for Sale Catalogs

Under the “tools” tab, you will find a new “Data Export” button. This data export gives you the flexibility to export data on animals in your herd and use those data files in your own management packages. You can download and save the files directly to your computer in a CSV (can be opened in Excel) format. There are many options within this feature including selecting the type of animal to export and specific data. Expedited Registration Work

If an animal needs to be registered with in a day or two a rush fee of $50 will be added to work. Once the animal is registered you can pull it up online to view the registration number. The new certificate will be mailed out the following day. We also offer FedEx mailing for additional $50. Non Members double the fee. Performance Deadline Approaching

Performance data must be submitted to the AICA office by August 1 to be included in the September 2022 Genetic Analysis. Please make sure calf data, weights and weigh data have been submitted online or on forms to AICA.

American-International Charolais Association 2021-2022 Qualifying Roll of Excellence Sires AICA was one of the first breed registries to establish a show program, Roll of Excellence (ROE) that provides national level competition on a regional basis across the United States. The AICA ROE Sire program recognizes sires for the achievement of progeny in National ROE Shows, Class A ROE Shows and Class B ROE Shows. A sire qualifies as a ROE Sire when progeny have accumulated a minimum total of 400 ROE points. A minimum of 200 points must be Class A ROE points.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

CHAROLAIS CATTLE AT CLIFT LIVESTOCK by Heather Smith Thomas Kerry and Brigid Clift and their daughter Cora raise registered Charolais on their ranch near Ellensburg, Washington. “We are in the heart of good cattle country here in the Kittitas Valley. I grew up on a ranch near White Swan, Washington, just south of Yakima. My dad had a commercial herd in the 1970’s and 1980’s and used Charolais bulls; this made a great cross,” says Kerry. “My grandfather, Harlond Clift, played professional baseball in the 1930’s and early 1940’s for the St. Louis Browns. After he retired from his baseball career, he purchased a ranch outside of Yakima (about 45 minutes south of Ellensburg) and then bought 1,500 head of Hereford cows. He had them shipped from Texas by railcars. In the 1930’s when he was playing baseball he made about $20,000 per year (which was a lot of money during the Depression) and his picture was on the Wheaties box in 1937 after he was in the All star Game. After baseball, he got into the cattle business, so my dad was raised on that ranch, and continued ranching. When I was growing up we had 200 head of commercial cows,” Kerry says. “I grew up showing livestock—Suffolk sheep and cattle. After I finished college in 1996 (with a degree in Ag Econ and a minor in Animal Science from Washington State University), we started into purebred Charolais and gradually built a registered herd. I really enjoy the seedstock business—the genetic selection and the camaraderie of competition in the show ring. Handselected genetics based on the cow’s genetic predictability has been our focus for passing on consistent genetics to our customers.” Kerry moved to Ellensburg in 1997 and met Brigid; she grew up on a ranch there. They got married in 1999. “I’ve always loved this area. It is great ranch country but sadly today it is changing, with many people moving in,” he says. “We now run about 60 head of registered Charolais cows, and we show at the NILE in Billings, Montana and the National Western in Denver. “Our daughter Cora shows at a lot of jackpot regional shows and also does the Charolais Junior National. She raises and sells club calves,” he says. Cora is very interested in cattle and loves breeding and showing them. “She has her own business—Cora’s Cattle Company—and has several cows of her own. She is 19 years old now and will be 20 in July.” The cattle and farming started out as a hobby for Kerry

but ended up being a business. “I started in 4-H when I was a kid, then I was in FFA, and so was Brigid. Our daughter has also been in 4-H and it’s been a family deal. Our vacations are cattle oriented; we don’t go to Hawaii or Mexico or other exotic places. We go to cattle shows! This is the one thing you can do competitively as a family.”

Kerry, Cora and Bridget

When he started the purebred Charolais herd he didn’t have much land of his own. “We rented most of it. Then we purchased more land, and now run our cattle on part of our ground as well as some rented ground. We just keep building and hope to eventually have 100 topquality registered cows,” Kerry says. “We’ve been taking our time to grow, and have purchased some really good bulls in recent years. Nine years ago we bought a bull in Denver; he was in the Reserve Grand Pen of Three in the National Western. We concentrate on buying quality bulls and also do a lot of

AMERICAN-INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR CHAROLAIS ASSOCIATION

Devon Benes, Vice President

VIEWPOINT

JUNIOR

Leaders of Tomorrow A hardworking, driven membership

ey everyone, my name is Devon Benes. I am currently serving as your AIJCA Vice President and Area 2 representative, representing North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. I am the son of Mitch and Andrea Benes. I grew up in small town Valparaiso, Nebraska but currently live in Lincoln, Nebraska on the search for a Graphic Design job. I just graduated college from Northeast Community College with a major in Graphic Design. Currently I am working full time on the farm, while also doing some Graphic Design jobs on the side such as show banners. Over the last few years, I have really stepped back and took a look at what the Charolais breed has to offer. We have the genetics for feedlot commercial cattle and show cattle. We have an amazing association and staff working all year long, but most importantly we have a junior association full of leaders that could change the

can’t wait to see what is coming in the next few years. As you go to these shows throughout the year and you are preparing to compete against others, remember that this is all about the youth. These shows are opportunities for kids like me to build up their relationships with others, learn to be leaders, and ultimately have a ton of fun. I am all for the fun aspect and if you don’t believe me then ask any of the junior board members. If it was me, I would love to spend weeks and weeks with the Charolais youth just having a blast because that’s what makes events like Junior Nationals so enjoyable for the kids. Being on the AIJCA board has been a complete blessing and I am extremely thankful for the past few years. The Charolais board is truly the best thing I have done in the last few years of my life. Being on the board has pushed me to be the leader that I never knew I had

“Every day that I put on my Charolais board clothes I tell myself I am going to be the best leader I can. I am going to teach these amazing kids everything I know…, but every time I take those clothes off I realize that’s not what happened at all. Those kids are teaching me everything they can, they are making me the best person I possibly can be…” beef industry. Yes, the Charolais breed has the genetics, but that’s not what intrigues me, that’s not what keeps me hooked on Charolais cattle. What keeps me hooked on Charolais cattle are the youth involved in the association. I have met so many great people through my years of showing Charolais cattle and every year I am seeing some amazing kids step up and set great examples. I truly believe the youth below me can change the industry, because our breed has some of the most hardworking, driven kids with great manners like no other. Every day that I put on my Charolais board clothes I tell myself I am going to be the best leader I can. I am going to teach these amazing kids everything I know and help guide them to be the best they can, but every time I take those clothes off I realize that’s not what happened at all. Those kids are teaching me everything they can, they are making me the best person I possibly can be, and I am extremely proud of every single Charolais Junior, no matter the age. I am extremely grateful for all of the opportunities the Charolais breed has given me so far and I 32

inside me and it can do the same for you. If you are even thinking about applying for the AIJCA board, then I say go for it. You have nothing to lose to just send in an application. If you are doubting yourself about if you will be good enough to be on the board, don’t. EVERYONE that is a part of the Charolais breed has what it takes to be on the board, you just might not know it. I would truly bet my whole life savings on the fact that any one of you could be amazing leaders, because I have seen it firsthand how amazing you guys are when you interact with each other at Junior Nationals. If you or anyone you know is eligible and your area is up for election, but you want to know more about the junior board, give me a call, shoot me an email, or pull me aside at one of the national shows because I would love to spend some one on one time with you. Thank you for the opportunities you guys have given me in the Charolais breed. I am truly proud of the Charolais youth, or what I like to call them the leaders of tomorrow! CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

CHARACTERIZING CARCASS GENETICS IN CHAROLAIS CATTLE

by Dr. Sally L. Northcutt, Genetic Consultant

Charolais cattle have a positive reputation of providing beef production systems the genetics that contribute to profitability measured in our industry. The excellent early growth, strong feedlot performance and the carcass yield create demand at the feeding and packing segments of the beef business. Remaining conscious of the consumer demand for beef that drives profit today, we focus on the genetic selection tools that users of the Charolais gene pool target to influence endproduct merit.

Carcass Trait EPDs by Design The AICA National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures generate a full suite of carcass trait EPDs. The models in the background for these EPDs are complex because a variety of data are contributing to the genetic predictions. The NCE procedures simultaneously combine carcass and ultrasound phenotypic datasets, pedigree, and genotypes. Genetic parameters allow the seamless integration of carcass and ultrasound contemporary groups to impact the resulting EPDs as well as available genomic and pedigree connections. In addition, contemporary weaning weight records are included for scanned and unscanned cattle to account for selection bias in the multi-trait carcass models.

Red meat yield model traits. The lean trait model generates the published EPDs for Carcass weight (CW) and Ribeye Area (REA). Phenotypic record contributions from contemporary groups in the AICA database for NCE include weaning weight, carcass weight, carcass ribeye area, ultrasound scan weight, and scan ribeye area. Marbling model traits. The marbling model utilizes performance contemporary groups for weaning weight, carcass marbling, carcass fat, ultrasound intramuscular fat (IMF) scan, and ultrasound 12th-rib and rump fat scans. Carcass and ultrasound traits are moderately to highly heritable (h2 range of .21 to .39) indicating that selection for these traits can be effective in a planned breeding program. The published carcass trait EPDs are the economically relevant expression of the traits in carcass 38



J U N E/J U L Y 2 0 2 2

trait units: carcass weight EPD in pounds, marbling EPD in score units, fat thickness in inches and ribeye area in square inches. Genetic correlations between carcass traits and ultrasound indicator traits (rg =.70) are strong and provide the genetic framework to make the NCE models work. Detailed genetic parameters (trait heritability and genetic correlation references) are found at: https://charolaisusa.com/genetic-evaluation.php

“Filling in the Boxes” of Carcass EPDs and TSI Awareness of the carcass models that frame the carcass trait EPDs released from each AICA NCE update, helps answer many breeder questions. Parents of carcass harvest data and ultrasound data receive the carcass trait EPDs. Genotyped animals through the AICA system receive carcass trait EPDs. Animals with ultrasound scan results from proper contemporary scan groups that pass NCE edits will also have carcass trait EPDs. With the availability of genomic testing, breeders can capitalize on early predictions for carcass merit. That does not take away from the value of contemporary scan data on nonparent bulls and heifers meeting age window criteria. The carcass EPDs contribute to the TSI values. If no TSI is present on an animal, the first place to study is the absence of carcass trait EPDs. In the index calculations, EPDs for carcass weight, ribeye area, and external fat thickness are incorporated to address genetic merit for yield grade. The Marbling EPD is also part of the TSI component traits for a quality grade adjustment. Below is a review of all EPDs included in TSI:

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

End-Product Genetic Improvement Today The AICA membership has a long history of valuing Charolais genetics in the feedlot and packing industry. From a genetic evaluation perspective, it is useful to draw upon the Charolais breed genetic trend. Genetic trend values, calculated as the average EPD by birth year, are reported for EPDs and the Terminal Sire Index. A complete table of genetic trend values can be found on the AICA website at: https://charolaisusa.com/genetic-evaluation.php Breed genetic trend is best displayed graphically. The following illustration captures genetic change over time for carcass weight, ribeye area, and marbling.

current resource of phenotypic records includes 12,030 carcass harvest measures and 80,778 ultrasound scans. Phenotypes have value. Carcass records provided by breeders or commercial producers using AICA Charolais sires can be edited to include the needed NCE fields for data submission to the Association. The primary phenotypic input fields include: Member Code Harvest Date Calf Tag Hot Carcass Weight Calf Birth Date Fat Thickness Calf Sex Ribeye Area Sire Reg KPH (optional) Dam Tag Yield Grade (optional) Dam Reg (optional) Quality Grade Group Code Marbling Score Association staff is prepared to assist AICA membership in entering carcass records into the AICA database. Contact the Association for more details.

Genetic Improvement Moving Forward

Carcass Data Collection and Reporting Ultrasound performance data is an indicator trait in the carcass genetic prediction system. The actual harvest data is the “gold standard” in the carcass EPD model, and this is a good reminder for Charolais breeders to capture and report any available carcass harvest data. The

The Charolais breed has made impressive genetic improvement using EPDs and the TSI index that provides the commercial industry genetic inputs driving their programs in a positive direction. The revelation and use of genomics allow for even more rapid progress, but also further drives home the need to continue to simultaneously build the database of carcass harvest records and ultrasound records on seedstock. The reliable genetic predictions for carcass value and ultimately a positive consumer experience will further solidify Charolais as a component in genetic strategies moving forward.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

CASTLEBERRY’S HILLTOP C CHAROLAIS Heather Smith Thomas

Sixty Years of Charolais Cattle Kirk and Peggy Castleberry have been raising registered Charolais cattle on their ranch near Ninnekah, Oklahoma for many years. “Part of our place originally belonged to my grandfather. My dad bought it from his brothers and sisters, from my grandfather’s estate. Then he added another 160 acres, where we are living now,” Kirk says.

Houston, Texas. “The Association was sending out reams of promotional material about the breed, and we were getting fliers in our mailbox all the time. My dad saw these and became interested. Our cow herd up to that point was predominantly polled Hereford,” says Kirk. “We had a neighbor who bought some big polled Hereford cattle in Colorado and brought them down The farm has seen multiple generations, though Kirk’s here. We bought some of his bull calves. We had some dad and grandfather were more into farming than raising big Hereford cows but they were only weaning 400 to cattle. “They were corn and cotton sodbusters instead of 450-pound calves. We were looking to improve our cattle people. Most of my dad’s life farming was looking weaning weights, so the Charolais were pretty interesting. at the rear end of a mule! I was an only child, and born They seemed really huge, at the time,” he says. late in life to my parents. My dad was the youngest of his “Most people today have forgotten how small the cattle siblings, but it fell to his lot to take care of his parents as in this country were, back at that time. In the 1950’s and they got older.” 1960’s there were a lot of 800 to 1000-pound mature Kirk asked his dad at one time how in the world he cows. So, we started searching for some Charolais cattle decided to be a barber and his dad said he had two to go look at. They were not very easy to find, in 1962!” brothers and it was the Depression and they were actually The first herd of Charolais he and his dad went to able to make a living barbering. So, he went to barber see was down by Ada, Oklahoma and owned by Mack college to become a barber. Braly, “Mack was a corporate lawyer. The first Charolais “My dad was a barber with a few cows, and my mother he’d ever seen was during his service in World War II in was a schoolteacher. When I was 10 years old I came France. He managed to buy a herd in Texas somewhere; home from school one day to find a little 8N Ford tractor those cattle were probably descendants of the Mexican sitting in the back yard! I said, ‘Dad, what are you fullbloods. So, we went to his place and spent a day, and going to do with that?’ He told me he was going back he showed us his cattle,” Kirk says. to barbering and “Mack was a that I was going great old guy to farm!” Kirk and he drove recalls. “We us around his didn’t have a lot ranch and fed us of farm ground— lunch. He had maybe 60 acres just gotten Paul cultivated—and 10919 back from we were farming test so we got with that little to see that bull tractor.” His dad when he was just also had a small a big yearling. herd of cattle. When we drove In the late out in the 1950’s and pasture to look early 1960’s at him I thought the Charolais he was just a big Association yellow steer! He was still very had a huge frame new and still and he had a big Peggy & Kirk Castleberry headquartered in impact on the CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

early Charolais business in this country.” Mack was also instrumental in getting more of the Full French purebreds into the U.S. “That was our introduction to the breed. We were more than sold on the cattle but a barber with a school teacher wife and a teenage kid couldn’t afford those kind of cattle!” At that time, the Charolais were still rare, and bringing a lot of money. “We never forgot about those cattle, however, and later my dad saw an ad in one of our local publications saying there was a retired schoolteacher named CC Riddle, down near Roff, Oklahoma. He had some 3/8 Charolais cows he wanted to sell. That’s almost half-bloods, and that was about all we could find. We went to look at those cows and had to go through an old barn to get into the lot where the cows were,” recalls Kirk. “In that area of Oklahoma the wind is always blowing, and I was the last one through the barn door going into the cow lot. The door had nothing to put through the hasp on it, and I couldn’t see any way to keep that door closed; it was blowing and flopping in the wind. That wasn’t a very good deal in a lot full of cows, so I just pulled an old broomweed up that was growing there by the door, and stuck it through the hasp to hold the door shut!” he says. “We got out there and we were looking through the cows, and I mentioned to Mr. Riddle that I’d put a broomweed through that hasp but didn’t think it would last very long in that wind. He was so impressed at my ingenuity, you’d have thought I’d cured cancer! Anyway, he and Dad made a deal on those 3/8 cows and I told him that I’d like to buy a cow for myself, but I’d really like to have one that was a higher percentage—so it wouldn’t take so long to get to a purebred.” That was when a person could breed up to 31/32 Charolais and be able to

register them as purebreds. “Mr. Riddle told me he had one 7/8 cow that he didn’t really want to sell right then, because she was bred to a purebred bull, which meant the calf would be 15/16th Charolais. If it was a heifer it would only be one generation away from purebred. I had a little bank account that I started after raising an orphan heifer calf on a bottle when I was about 5 years old. That old cow cost me my bank account plus two of my commercial cows! But I ended up with a Charolais cow! Her first calf was a bull but I managed to sell him for what I had in the cow, so I still came out ok,” Kirk says. This was his start in the Charolais business. The family herd was just commercial cows—mainly Hereford. “There was a father-son partnership, Harry and Danny Devers at Alvord, Texas that my dad got in touch with. He went down there to buy an old Charolais herd bull that they were no longer using. It was a more mature bull, and a purebred. My dad paid $1,500 for him, which was a lot of money at that time. In 1962 you could have bought 3 Hereford or Angus bulls for the price of that one!” They bred their percentage cows to that bull. “We were the laughing stock of the community here, for paying that much for a bull. Before long, however, we started finding stray cows in our pasture—cows that we’d never seen before! A few days after a stray cow showed up, a neighbor might call and ask if we’d seen such-and-such cow. My dad finally started saying, yeah, we got her bred, so you can come and get her! That happened a number of times while we had that old bull,” Kirk says. In 1962 Kirk started his freshman year of high school. Ninnekah, Oklahoma was one of the only schools in the state which required vocational ag as a required subject

Dear Charolais Breeders, As you study the pages of this directory you will notice the large amount of quality cattle that are produced here. MCBA members are hosting many successful sales on farm and online, in fact three of the breed’s Top 10 Female Sales and 3 of the Top 40 Bull Sales in the nation were held right here in our great state in 2021. Feel free to contact any Missouri Charolais breeder to discuss their operations and how you can acquire these breed leading genetics! There are many opportunities throughout the year to participate in Charolais functions. The American Royal is annually the breed’s largest National ROE Show. In October of 2022 the MCBA will be hosting the 54th National Charolais Show in Kansas City. At the American Royal in the fall of 2021 we hosted exhibitors from 18 states. Also during the American Royal the Royal Breeders Bull Classic had 30 Classic Club Members that represented 11 states participating. The Grand and Reserve Champion bulls were exhibited by Missouri breeders. In conjunction with American Royal the MCBA sponsors the Royal Collection Sale, this past fall it was the #3 highest averaging sale in the entire breed! If you would like to participate in the 2022 Royal Collection Sale, please contact Wes Chism, with JWC Marketing or David Hobbs at AICA. Since the amount of interest for the breed within the state is extremely strong, the Missouri State Fair in August annually host’s the largest Junior and Open Charolais shows in the nation at the state level. The state of Missouri has historically been a leader in the production of Charolais genetics. On a national scale we currently rank #2 for Active Members, #4 for total Enrolled Registered Females and #4 for Junior Members. There are also nine Missouri breeders that rank in the Top 100 for Female Enrollments. With each passing year more and more commercial cattlemen are realizing the value of our breed’s genetics and are utilizing them to make their operations more profitable. Fuel, fertilizer and other input cost have skyrocketed. The heterosis and pure performance our breed offers is unmatched and will help make ranches more efficient for years to come.

Sincerely, Chris Peuster MCBA President

2022 MCBA Honoree Fountain Charolais

2022-2023 MCBA Board of Directors

2022 Missouri Charolais Breeders Association Honoree Fountain Charolais David Fountain and Dr. Linda Hickman We are honoring Fountain Charolais for their commitment to the Charolais Breed and the Missouri Charolais Breeders Association (MCBA). In 1973, David and his father Wayne purchased two three-quarter blood Charolais females from the Empire Charolais Dispersal. The following year a purebred bull was purchased from ABC Ranch, Martinsburg, Missouri – Carl Ahrens. Carl then took David to shows like Denver, Louisville, the American Royal, any many others. Carl made a big impression on David, and they developed a strong friendship. In 2016, he nominated Carl as the MCBA Honoree and did the presentation. His next herd bull purchase was from Albert Phillips. Showing in the early days of the Block & Bridle Show in Columbia, Missouri is where I remember meeting David for the first time. His pride for his cattle and Charolais was evident then. As years progressed, he served on the MCBA Board during the middle 1980’s. Around this time, the Autumn Invitational Sale was started at Palmyra, Missouri. David managed this MCBA sponsored sale for several years until Rex Ricketts took over and the sale was eventually moved to Eldon, Missouri.

David Bonacker made the presentation honoring Fountain Charolais on April 15, 2022.

I am not sure of the timing, but this could be when Linda came into David’s life. Linda started off as his veterinarian, her background in commercial cattle blended perfectly with Fountain Charolais. Linda’s father had taught her the economic value of heavier weaning weights. She already knew that Char-cross cows were consistently weaning the heavy calves. When daughter, Tara was born, she did not have much of a choice but to love cattle and especially Charolais. David told me about taking Tara to feed and placing her in a 5-gallon bucket, to keep her from getting in with the cows. Seeing Tara’s interest in the breed, David and Linda encouraged Tara to join the American-International Junior Charolais Association (AIJCA). After her first AIJCA Junior National in Mississippi in 2003, they saw the opportunities the organization had to offer. Between David and Linda, they have put on and supported every AIJCA Junior National that Missouri has sponsored over the years. David help set up and provide heifers for the 1990 fitting contest at the Junior National in Columbia. Linda became a Missouri Junior Advisor in 2009 and was honored as the AIJCA Junior Advisor Of-TheYear in 2011, then in 2017 was honored as the AIJCA Junior National Show Dedicatee. David was always promoting Charolais cattle in his area. Steve Curtis, Tiger County Charolais, Mexico, Missouri, credits David for getting him started in the Charolais business, 22 plus years ago. Steve admired the fact that David wanted him to see other herds besides his. They went to many ranches such as Rogers, Cobb, and Lindskov-Thiel, looking at different genetics. It is by David’s encouragement that Steve’s son, Nick attended his first AIJCA Junior National in Hutchinson, Kansas in 2005. If they ever had a question, David would have the answer. This kind of dedication is why we are honored to present this award to Fountain Charolais, David, and Dr. Linda Hickam.

MORE PROFIT. Breeding good cattle isn’t complicated. Cattle feeders give us the ultimate report card. According to Jared Wareham, Top Dollar Angus, “No other option offers the greatest terminal crossbreeding value from the ranch through the feeder like a really good set of smokes or buckskins that are at least 50% Angus or Red Angus.” Use a registered Charolais bull and genetic verification through CharAdvantage to earn more premiums.

Calf scours are not inevitable. A strong prevention program is non-negotiable. Dependable scour prevention is essential for calf welfare, employee morale and business profitability. The immune system’s response to vaccination is variable and unpredictable. That’s why giving preformed antibodies instead of relying on a vaccine to stimulate antibody production is so important. I’m all for removing uncertainties. So yes, I stand by this product. (And no, I’m not.)

AI. In recent years we started doing some embryo work.” The bulls from Clift Livestock are sold the 3rd week of February, in Ellensburg. “We have partnered with a couple of Angus producers for the sale. We now do an online sale with SC Online Sales, that sale is the CharNation Online Sale, and it is usually the 3rd week in October. We also offer some embryos and semen in that sale, and also sell a few show heifers to kids. We sell some females privately but most of the bulls are sold in our February sale,” says Kerry. Cora breeds her cows AI to club calf bulls to create smoky club calves. In 2015 and 2018 she had the Grand Champion Steer at the Ellensburg Fair with her steers. Ten years ago when Cora started showing at the local level there were only black cattle in the 4-H classes. She told her dad that she should be selling black ones because that’s what everyone was showing. “I told her she didn’t need to do that, and should just be patient. At that time the smoky calves were winning at San Antonio and Houston, and I told her that here in the West we were just about 4 years behind the fad.” She just needed to make local people aware of the merits and qualities of the smoky calves. “Every year, she’s shown smokies and then started winning. Before long, a lot of her friends in her 4-H club were raising smokies!” Kerry enjoys the genetic aspect of the purebred business, and pays close attention to the genetics introduced into the herd. “The bulls we buy must be structurally correct to make show cattle, and also need to have a good temperament. With Cora working around the cattle as she grew up, I couldn’t have anything that didn’t have good temperament.” The customers appreciate how calm these cattle are; they are a lot easier to handle. “We strive to have bulls with moderate birth weights

that are built correctly through the front end and shoulders so cows don’t have a hard time calving but the calves are fast growers from that point to produce high weaning weights. We like correctly built bulls that are good on their feet and legs so they can travel in rough country. We also select for genetic traits such as ribeye, scrotal circumference, marbling and milk. One of the biggest compliments we get from our customers is how calm our bulls are to be around,” Kerry says. “We also enjoy the show end of it, especially the National Western and the NILE. Those are our two main shows, along with our Charolais regional show. Breeding these cattle is a fun project that keeps growing, and demand keeps growing for Charolais cattle, for commercial bulls, and the club calf breeding project that Cora started. We have a good market for show heifers, too,” he says. Charolais has always been the main choice for a terminal cross on commercial cattle, especially on crossbred cows, using Charolais as a third breed to create the most heterosis—producing calves with better weaning weights and muscling. “A lot of people in our area run black cows and use Charolais bulls on them,” he says, “Our herd calves in two groups. We try to time our early calving season to start about the time we get back from Denver the end of January and wrap up the calving in mid to late March. We need early calves to satisfy our bull buyers; they want bulls that have a little age on them when they are turned out with cows the first time. The show cattle also need to be a little older than the average calf. This necessitates breeding the cows a little earlier than we might want to otherwise,” he says. “We also have a fall-calving group for the bull buyers who want bulls a little older than yearlings. Those cows calve September-October. We can face challenging

One reason we have repeat customers is that our bulls are forage developed. They come off their mamas and go to wheat pastures, and then bermudagrass for the summer. if you were a boy, and if you were a girl you had to take home economics. “And if you wanted to show any cattle in 1962, they had to be Hereford, Angus or Shorthorn. There were no classes for any other breeds. So, I managed to accumulate a few Shorthorns just to show, and actually had a pretty good show career with those. I had the state champion heifer in 1965,” he says. By the late 1970’s, he and some other folks re-formed what had originally been the Oklahoma State Charolais Association. “I was president of that for 2 years. The last thing that I got them to do was create a Director position in the Association for Junior activities. My wife and I worked with that for at least 14 years—as a volunteer position. We made sure that kids had a chance to show Charolais cattle,” he says. Looking back a bit, Kirk says that 1970 was a momentous year in his life. “That was the year I graduated from college one day, Peggy and I got married the next day, and I had to help load a truckload of watermelons before making the trip home. We leased an old farmhouse here that had some pasture with it. Dad and I formed a partnership and that was about the time we started looking for polled Charolais bulls. If you think Charolais were hard to find, start trying to find some polled ones!” In France these were dual purpose cattle, used for draft and dairy as well as beef. The meat from these cattle was mainly in the form of veal or from older animals after their working life was finished. “When these cattle were first brought to the U.S. the main thing breeders (in any breed) were trying to do was win feed tests. The Charolais were recording some great gains that were more than folks had ever heard of in the Hereford, Angus or Shorthorn breeds. When the French cattle started coming in, they were even better in rate of gain,” Kirk says. The big-boned big cattle gained really well in feedlot

tests. “But coupled with the fact that the cows they were being bred to were small, this created the perfect storm for calving wrecks. I told my dad, when I came back home from college, that we had to make these cattle fit the way commercial cattle were produced in the U.S. or this breed wasn’t going to survive. My solution was to start selecting for polled bulls that were long-necked, clean-fronted and more streamlined. That front end comes into this world first! They needed to be streamlined but still have good tops and good rear ends.” In 1972 they had two bulls that were working very well on their herd. “We may be the oldest polled breeders in the nation today who are still active, but that’s how we got to where we are now. We were trying to improve calving ease, and by 1975 we were beginning to have a customer base of folks who were willing to come back and buy bulls again, so we felt we might be on the right track,” he says. A number of people felt that the cattle had become too big and that a little more moderation was needed. “We needed bulls that could put live calves on the ground that would still perform well,” Kirk explains. Now about 85% of his bull customers are repeat customers. “We sell everything private treaty off the place. One reason we have repeat customers is that our bulls are forage developed. They come off their mamas and go to wheat pastures, and then bermudagrass for the summer. They are not developed in a feedlot and they are ready to go to work; they don’t ‘melt’ when put out with cows. I’ve found that the bulls that don’t eat grain last a lot longer; they are healthier and stay sound.” At some point during the 1980’s he got two bulls that were grandsons of the old Ozark Grenadier bull. “We had a friend who had a predominantly Litton-based cow herd and we stopped by there one day and saw this bull calf. He was kind of long-eared and taller than anything else out there, and probably outweighed every other calf

his age by 150 pounds. They were making fun of him and he was kind of awkward-looking, so I said, ‘If you don’t like him, what would you take for him?’ We bought him and called him Paul Peppel Poll and he was a great sire producer,” Kirk says. A few years later he bought Riverwood Lobo 811-T1 an Ozark Grenadier grandson on the cow side. “He was maybe the best female producer I ever had. Just off their mamas and grass, their calves would weigh 1150 to 1250 pounds at a year of age. Both those bulls sired good females, but the Lobo bull had tremendous females. About 2 years after he died, the EPDs had come along and his Milk EPD was a plus 22. The biggest mistake I ever made as a breeder was not saving a bunch of semen from that bull! I sure wish I had,” he says. “We have good herd bulls today but they tend to be more one-trait specialists. We have two herd bulls that are in the top 1% of the breed in birth weight and calving ease. Then we have a Fargo son in the top 25% in weaning weight and top 15% in yearling weight. We have a Eatons Royal Dynasty son that’s in the top 25% milk. We have a Patriot bull that is in the top 35% in weaning and 30% yearling weights, and an EC Iron Man son that I named Donald Rump and he’s top 15% in birth weight, 35% in weaning weight and 30% milk. He’s the closest to having it all together.” There are several things Kirk has done to try to stay in the business for 60 years. He says the most important thing is that a breeder works for the customers. It’s important to produce what they need. “The first thing I try to get them to do is tell me about their cow herd. Then I try to fit the bull to their needs, to improve the cows that they have. I have to become an advisor. Often these folks, especially the ones who only have 20 to 30 cows, work in town to support their farming habit, and they could care less about EPDs or growth curves, cow size, etc. They just want a bull that will add to their weaning weights and not cause them any problems,” Kirk

140

J U N E/J U L Y 2 0 2 2

says. “I look at this as being my job, to help them select what will work for them. I am a purebred breeder and I need to study these things so they don’t have to. The majority of what we select for in our purebred herd is for the commercial cattleman. We do sell some animals to other seedstock breeders, but that’s not my focus.” The early perception about Charolais cattle was the fear that you’d have to pull every calf, so he has spent his lifetime focused on having his entire herd calve on their own— and be able to say he has an easy-calving herd. This is what the commercial producer wants—the Charolais advantaged in growth and feed efficiency but without calving problems. There is a happy medium however, because if birth weight gets too small it’s harder to have a bigger calf at weaning. “If the birth weight on a bull averages less than 80 pounds he is probably an easy-calving bull, but it will start affecting weaning weights. If birthweights are less than 80 pounds, except on your heifers, you are probably just as well off with a Hereford or Angus bull. Birth weights between 80 and 90 pounds are usually fine and this is where you will really see the gains in weaning weights,” he says. Shape of the calf is often just as important as birthweight. “Just because a calf weighed 83 pounds at birth does not necessarily mean he came any easier than an 88 pound calf. It’s partly a matter of the shape of that calf. One thing that I am concerned about in this industry right now is that we are getting some heavyfronted bulls again. This is something I’ve been breeding away from, for 50 years! There is always a place for diversity, however, and the Charolais breed does have diversity now.” People can select what they want. “This brings me to my next point, which is the fact that what happens in the show ring is usually best ignored. In the early 1980’s, Expectation 269 and Elevation 44 did more to change the perception of what the Charolais

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

breed could be. Those two bulls actually got us away from the calving ease stigma. They put live calves on the ground that were tremendous at growing, with all kinds of performance,” Kirk says. “We just had to resist the urge to get them too big in frame, but if you could do that, they made some really nice cows. This is just my opinion, as a guy who has been in the business for 60 years,” he says. “It’s been a great ride. I think that working good cattle on a good horse has always been close to heaven on earth, for me! We’ve raised quite a few Quarter Horses and they all go back to a son of Poco Bueno that a neighbor of mine had, called Trigger Dun. Later on, I got to buy one of the daughters of that old horse. She had a filly with her when I got her. That old mare was about 25 years old, but she had three more babies for me. All the horses that we use around here today go back to that old mare and her babies. They are predominantly Peppy San Badger or Doc Bar bred, and good cow horses. That’s what we use them for; they work for a living,” he says. “Over the years in the Charolais business we’ve met some great people—from all over the world including England and Australia, and old Mexico. We’ve made lifelong friends, and raised two pretty good kids, and now have three granddaughters. The oldest granddaughter is our athlete. But she loves to come help Poppy and Nana work cows and fish. The middle granddaughter shows Charolais and Charolais Composite heifers and the youngest one is just 7 years old and shows mini Herefords—but we’ll get her out of that and into Charolais as soon as she is 9!” He and Peggy slowly added to the size of the ranch over the years, and have done it all with Charolais cattle. “I’ve never seen any breed that couldn’t be improved on by crossing with Charolais. It makes a great cross. We just try to produce efficient grass harvesters,” he says. The cross has tremendous hybrid vigor as well. The results will make the commercial producer money.

“And as long as I can keep him in business, he comes back and buys bulls from me!” Kirk says. Raising Charolais has been an interesting journey and he can’t think of anything else he would have wanted to do. In earlier years he had a little show string and took cattle to various shows. “Back in those days if you had a show string out on the circuit you’d get invited to a lot of consignment sales. I was more interested in going to those sales than I was in trying to win at shows. When you go to a consignment sale and maybe have the top-selling lot or in the top end, you’ll wind up with some people coming to your place to look at cattle,” he explains. There is more exposure that does some good. “When you go to a sale like that, you get to talk to people who are actually interested in buying cattle. It’s not like going to a show where you visit with a lot of people but they are not interested in spending money on cattle. It’s different at a consignment sale. I can remember participating in some of the old Bluebonnet sales and doing really well. I could take my cattle down to Texas and they’d look like giants compared to the Texas cattle, but if I take them up to Kansas they’d look small! As you go farther north, the cattle are bigger, and that always fascinated me,” he says. Back when they were taking bulls to consignment sales there was no internet. “We advertised with our show string,” Peggy says. “I was telling some kids about that at the Cattlemen’s Congress, and they just couldn’t imagine not having the internet! We met some great people, as we went around the country.” Kirk says that if there’s anything he misses about showing its meeting the people. “We have survived, not only by the grace of God, but by continuing to keep up with the latest animal science techniques and also, listening to Mother Nature. We hope to have many more years in this Great White Breed ahead of us.”

AICA MEMBERSHIP Obituary

Carol, daughter of Oscar and Nettie (Nelson) Casper, was born December 19, 1940. She grew up on a farm south of Lake Preston and graduated from Lake Preston High School in 1958. A week after her high school graduation, Carol married, Arnold Wienk, on June 1, 1958 at the Lake Preston Lutheran Church. That same year, they purchased their first Charolais, and Arnold would often say, “In 1958, I got the two loves of my life.” Together, Carol and Arnold established Wienk Charolais, and raised five daughters, Deb, Kim, Peggy, Jody, and Amy, on the farm where Arnold was born and raised. For decades, Arnold and Carol hosted a bull sale on the farm, with friends and customers gathering to look over their Charolais cattle and spend time with the Wienk family. Attendees loved Carol’s potato salad and pumpkin bars, served alongside burgers cooked over an open fire. The family’s Charolais business took Arnold and Carol around the world. Together, the couple visited Spain, France, England, Holland, Belgium, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia, and across the United States. They often took the girls along as they attended AICA events over the years. Carol was passionate about promoting beef, and she was an active member of the SD Cattlemen’s Auxiliary, SD Beef Industry Council, American National CattleWomen, SD Charolais Association, and she was one of the founders of the Charolais Dees. Arnold and Carol always had an open invitation for visitors at the farm, and Carol loved welcoming foreign exchange students, collegiate livestock judging teams, and countless guests to her home over the years. As a member of the Lake Preston UCC, she was a Sunday school teacher and was involved in the church fellowship group. Carol’s five children, 16 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren would often find her in the kitchen or out in the garden. She loved to be surrounded by her peacocks and beautiful flowers. Arnold and Carol found joy in growing food together for the family, as well. Carol’s Christmas Charolais cut-out sugar cookies simply could not be beat, and her mouse ornaments gifted to each grandchild will be enjoyed for generations. Carol and Arnold moved to Brookings in 2017, and they enjoyed attending SDSU basketball games together and spending time at the cabin surrounded by family at Lake Poinsett. Grateful for having shared her life is her husband, Arnold; her daughters, Deb (Al) Vedvei, Lake Preston; Kim (Scott) Jensen, Lake Preston; Peggy (Dave) Nolz, Mitchell; Jody (Jeff) Eschenbaum, Lake Preston; Amy (Russ) Bailey, Custer; her grandchildren, Corrie, Stacie, Melanie, Danielle, Dannica, Amanda, Courtney, Kaley, Sterling, Ty, Calder, Stetson, Rhett, Rheann, and Rheo; her 23 great-grandchildren; her brother, David (Roxann) Casper; her twin sister, Caren (Roger) Hoyer; her in-laws, Gloria Wienk, Vince (Micky) 148

Obituary

Donald Russell Mellott was born June 5, 1944, in Seymour, Indiana, and went to be with the Lord on May 20, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 77. Don was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Gloria (Bradshaw) Mellott. Don is survived by his wife, Janet, whom he married on May 29, 1964; his children: Janette (Sam) VanMeter, Angela Davis, Stephen (Michal) Mellott, and Christina (Kevin) Harris; his grandchildren: Sarah Davis, Bradley (Shelby) Davis, Dane VanMeter, Samantha (Chris) Erickson, Lilly Mellott, Madeline Mellott, Ella Harris, Olivia Harris, Emmi Harris, Luke Harris, and Leia Harris; great grandchildren: Kennedy Davis, Lincoln Davis, and Harper Davis; his sister, Sheryl (John) McGuire; mother-in-law, Wanda Nye, brother-in-law, Monte (Susan) Nye, and nieces. Don graduated from Will Rogers High School in 1962 and earned honors as an Oklahoma high school all-state football player and high school AllAmerican running back. He received a full, four-year football scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. In 2015, Don was inducted into the Will Rogers High School Hall of Fame. Throughout his lifetime Don was a successful entrepreneur and businessman. Don has been a principal owner in five businesses. In 1988, he started Heater Specialists (HSI), an integrated single-source manufacturer of refinery equipment. In 1993, Don started Mohawk Field Services (MFSI) specializing in the erection, revamp, repair and installation of heaters, boilers, and other refinery equipment. Don’s experience and leadership grew HSI and MFSI to the industry leading companies they are today. In 1978, Don and Janet started Fox Hollow Farms, a purebred Charolais seedstock operation. Fox Hollow has had many champion animals, including the 1986-87 Show Heifer of the Year, and the 43rd Role of Excellence sire. Don was the Charolais Superintendent at the Tulsa State Fair for many years. Fox Hollow continues to be a premier breeder of Charolais genetics. Along with being a successful businessman and rancher, Don had a heart for service and philanthropy and gave to many ministries and individuals. He served as a deacon at Glad Tidings Assembly and Faith Assembly of God. He helped start and was a board member of New Life Christian Academy, a private school in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. He also served on the Peggs school board and was a founding Board Member of the Tulsa Dream Center.
