VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS

Even A Volatile Market Sends A Clear Signal

The Demand For Charolais Continues to Increase

ost often, the language used to communicate current market reports seem rather foreign. Regional cash markets are reported, but just about everything that follows may as well be Greek! Forward contracts, hedge, short and long, fundamentals… is an assortment of “lingo” that doesn’t appear to have a tangible connection to anything a producer has control over. At this very minute, my email inbox ‘dinged’ with an e-blast headlined “Left Out by Lingo?”! By following the link I arrived at a web page titled Understanding Agricultural Markets 101. Even though grassroots producers have no control over the speculation or commodity trading world, they do have control over breeding decisions, management schemes and the health and welfare of the cattle produced in their operations. Depending upon the aforementioned decisions, arguably, Charolais seedstock suppliers and commercial cow-calf producers have more opportunity than ever before to add and capture value.

producers are left with two extremely uncomplicated, yet sometimes, hard-to-swallow options.” In an even bolder statement, Jared says, “Option one: Maintain a base cowherd of Angus or Red Angus genetics and terminal cross with Charolais. As it currently stands, Charolais is the lone wolf among all other potential terminal breed options. There are very few cattle feeders I talk to who don’t immediately perk up to the prospects of high-value Angus or Red Angus X Charolais feeders. For those of you ready to argue that there are alternative options available to producers that can create the same value as this cross, don’t bother. I am clearly aware of those options. They are limited genetically in availability and simply don’t have the consistent pull through demand at the feeder level. No other option currently offers the greatest terminal cross breeding 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.” Jared’s commentary is based on his day-to-day work all across the United

Even though grassroots producers have no control over the speculation or commodity trading world, they do have control over breeding decisions, management schemes and the health and welfare of the cattle produced in their operations. Recent supportive reporting comes from Colt Keffer, AICA’s Director of Industry Relations and Sales. The Charolais Advantage program is experiencing wide acceptance and recognition in the market. Nearly 5,000 head have sold in video sales hosted by Superior Livestock and Western Video Market. The Charolais Advantage program cattle are earning premiums compared to commodity cattle. Colt stated, “The CharAdvantage program is the fastest growing, breed specific, age and genetic verification program in the country.” Quite often, order buyers and third-party individuals traveling the country and buying for cattle feeders are hesitant to endorse a particular breed or clearly communicate market signals. After all, most all cattle will be sold into A market and the packer will determine the ultimate value of the carcass. Jared Wareham, Top Dollar Angus, isn’t one of those guys! In a recent article, authored by Jared and published in Drovers Journal, he tackles crossbreeding head on. He prefaces the article with the following statements, “What is crossbreeding’s place or role in the beef industry? What will it look like over the next several decades? I believe the big picture answers are quite simple.” He goes on to state, “Due to the value of maternal efficiency as it relates to ranch level profitability,

States, helping Top Dollar customers capture more value based on the genetic composition of their cattle. More than a year ago, we reported on Superior Livestock Auction marketing data from 1995 through 2016. The data represents over two decades and is the most comprehensive report of actual sales of beef cattle in the beef industry today. According to the Superior data, from 2010 through 2017, some breeds experienced a decline in the number of lots of calves sold from single-sire breeds, while Charolais documented an overall increase. Our breeders support the data as they report on behalf of their commercial customers, Charolais and Char-cross feeder cattle almost always sell at the top of the market for the day. The Superior data reported that 490 lots of Charolais sired calves, average weight of 580 pounds, sold for $1.23/cwt higher than the next high selling Red Angus lots. Even a volatile market sends a clear signal. The demand for documented, proven Charolais and Char-cross genetics continues to increase. During volatile or downward markets, genetics are a tremendous risk management factor. We can be “left out by the lingo” but continue to respect the market signals and produce Charolais cattle in great demand today.

Legacy Wall Missouri State Fair

The Memorial placed in front of the Charolais barn on the Missouri State Fairgrounds was originally dedicated in 2001 by the Missouri Charolais Breeders Association to the Charolais breeder who lead efforts to build the first breed-specific facility on the historic fairgrounds, the late Jerry Litton. Jerry and his parents Charley and Mildred converted their Hereford herd to Charolais in 1952 becoming Litton Charolais Ranch in Chillicothe, Mo. In 1972 Jerry was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Jerry along with his wife Sharon, and children Linda and Scott, met an untimely death in a plane crash on the eve of winning the Missouri Democratic Primary Election for the U.S. Senate on August 3, 1976. The Legacy Wall, replacing the original memorial, is located near the Centennial Gate, outside the Charolais Barn. In 1969 it was announced at the MCBA annual meeting that the funding was secure on building a new Charolais barn on the Missouri State Fairgrounds from MCBA, Litton Charolais Ranch, State of Missouri, as well as Missouri Charolais breeders. Since the first year of the barn being utilized in 1970 the barn has been expanded with additional stalling and new improvements still being made. MCBA in cooperation with the Missouri State Fair, the Missouri State Fair Foundation, and the Litton Foundation, lead the 2019 fundraising effort to relocate the memorial and renovate the Charolais barn. Tribute bricks and stones were sold to help fund the renovations and future improvements. The Legacy Wall, featuring the Jerry Litton Memorial was rededicated at the 2019 Missouri State Fair. During the dedication, the “CHAROLAIS” letters that originally identified the barn were sold to benefit improvements. Charolais x Wagyu Cross Carcass Claims Missouri State Fair Honors

Matt was born January 22, 1971 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Walla Walla, Washington to Kemble and Alice Tellefson. He graduated from Weston McEwen High School, Athena, Oregon in 1989. He then earned Associates Degrees in Animal Science and Ag Production from Blue Mountain Community College. He worked at Brittany Farming and LB Trucks before joining Tumac Machinery in 1996.

Obituary

Donald Richard Olsen, age 74 of Randolph, passed away Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at his residence. He was born on St. Patrick’s Day, 1945, in Sterling, Colorado, the son of Harold and Margaret (Cowdrey) Olsen and grandson of Danish immigrants, Anton and Marie Olsen. He attended a one room school house before attending Yuma, CO, public schools where he excelled in FFA and 4-H. He was elected state president of the Colorado Future Farmers of America after high school graduation. He later earned a degree in agricultural economics from Kansas State University. On September 7, 1975, he was married to Charlotte Shoup at her grandparent’s home in Mulvane, Kansas. She survives of the home. Don was a rancher and was committed to raising high quality Charolais seedstock for the livestock industry. He cherished showing cattle from an early age and has shown at national, regional, and state shows, capturing top awards from time to time. His granddaughter, Nissa, is following in his footsteps. He also was a leader in Charolais and livestock associations over the years. Don was a joyful person and extended that joyfulness to others, often engaging others in conversations about his two great passions - cattle and Kansas State University sports. He was not fearful of trying new things such as coaching his children’s young soccer teams when he knew nothing about the sport. He also was their 4-H leader and was engaged in all aspects of their lives as well as his granddaughter’s. He was a member of the Randolph United Methodist Church, serving in several leadership roles, and was a member of the Randolph Lions Club. In addition to his wife Charlotte, he is survived by one daughter, Livia Olsen of Manhattan; one son, Reggie Olsen of Manhattan; one granddaughter, Nissa Olsen of Manhattan who was his ranch buddy; and one brother, Max Olsen of Yuma, Colorado. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Jim Olsen. Memorial services were held at 4:00 p.m. Monday, August 12, 2019 at the Randolph United Methodist Church with Pastor Sandy Ferguson. Inurnment will be in the Randolph Fancy Creek Cemetery. Following the graveside service there was a picnic and a time of fellowship at the Olsen Ranch. Memorials have been established for the Kansas Junior Charolais Association, Riley County 4-H Foundation and the Randolph United Methodist Church.

Matt loved his family, cattle, John Deere equipment, people young and old, and good times. He touched many lives here in our valley and across the CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

David Hobbs Receives 2019 Beef Show Dedication Award

This year the 2019 Missouri State Fair Beef Show dedication award was awarded to our very own David Hobbs. David has been an active supporter of the Missouri State Fair for many years starting with his involvement as a 4-H and FFA member exhibiting Angus, Charolais and Market Steers. The tradition of the Beef Show dedication award began in the early 90’s and since then, the award has been received by individuals who play a significant role at the Missouri State Fair Beef Show. Not only has David been an exhibitor of the Missouri State Fair, but he has also stayed connected to the fair through his role at Charolais as well as helping work the ring at the Missouri State Fair Steer Show. From a Charolais breed perspective, David said through the years he has enjoyed watching the consistency of involvement of the Charolais breed at the Missouri State Fair. The fair has also served as an avenue to merge both the show cattle side and the commercial side of the cattle industry, David said. “Looking back through the years spent at the Missouri State Fair I am reminded of all the people I have met and who have had an influence on my life,” David said. 22 

SOUTHWESTERN FLARE Winner of the AICA Commercial Producer of the Year award, Mayfield Ranch Partnership, gets prized terminal-cross calves out of registered Charolais bulls. by Paige Nelson

friend once told Butch Mayfield, “You’re the luckiest guy in the world. You’ve known what you want to do all your life, since you were five years old, and you’ve had the guts to do it.” Guts, grit and grass have helped Butch turn his passion into a thriving cow-calf ranch near Playas, N.M. Butch is the managing partner in the Mayfield Ranch Partnership. Contributing partners are his daughters Leann Saunders and Melinda Birkeland . Butch, his parents and two daughters built an award-winning ranch. In 2019 The Mayfield Ranch was awarded the American International Charolais Association (AICA) Commercial Producer of the Year. It’s a well-bestowed title and here’s why:

Ranching in the Chihuahan

Desert life is extreme. The plants and animals that can abide the desert’s harsh climate do so because they’ve evolved with the environment. The same is true of the people and cattle that make a living off of the grass, brush and rocky landscape that is the Chihuahan Desert. Everything the Mayfields do on their ranch is in stride with the environment, as extreme as it is. For example, elevations on the ranch range from 4,200 feet (ft.) to 6,500 ft. spanning an area of approximately 300 sections. Contrary to most western ranches, Mayfields use their highcountry pastures during the winter and save their lowlands for summer grazing. Butch reasons that his higher elevation pastures, as large as 20 sections produce higher quality gamma grasses and browse and better prepare the cows for calving season. The lower

pastures, on the other hand, are carved with flood draws. The feed quality is lower but a decent monsoon season can grow a lot of forage in the draws, says Butch. Monsoon season usually drops about 70% of the area’s annual rainfall, he notes. It typically begins around the 10th of July and lasts through September. In order to keep the range in growing shape, the Mayfields rest each pasture once every three years. They’ve also found the ideal mature cow size for their environment, is 1,050 pounds.

Raising desert cattle

The cow herd is primarily Angus, Angus-Hereford-cross and Angus-Brangus-Cross. The Mayfields purchase all their replacement heifers from neighboring ranches and breed them to light birthweight Angus bulls. “We’ve been buying replacement heifers out of the same ranches for 20 years,” says Butch. We sync [the heifers] with a CIDR, leave it in for 10 days, pull those CIDRs, lutalyse them and then put bulls in with them. We usually get in the middle 90s (conception rate percentage) in 75 breeding days.” Every other cow on the ranch, according to Butch, is bred to a moderate-size registered Charolais bull. “Every one of my Charolais bulls, at this point, is a Lane Grau bull out of Grady, N.M. We’ve been very satisfied,”Butch states. A moderate-sized Charolais bull will acclimate to the range and put good width on calves, says Butch. “These moderate-size Chars are wide and long. They will cross with those cows, and we’re really proud of those calves,” he beams. continued on page 70

Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only.This product should not be used in other animal species. When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios. Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extendedrelease anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age. STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C). Protect from light. Made in Canada. Manufactured for Merial, Inc., Duluth, GA, USA.

GENERATIONS. That’s Why You Need LongRange®(eprinomectin) For Up To 150 Days Of Parasite Control.1 Bloodlines. You’re as proud of yours as you are of theirs. But if you used a short-term dewormer like Cydectin® (moxidectin) or Dectomax® (doramectin), you may not have been doing your genetics justice. That’s because your cows and heifers were probably reinfected with parasites just halfway through the grazing season – right when they need to gain weight to breed back and give milk.

Only LONGRANGE delivers true season-long control.1

25.4 lbs.

LONGRANGE heifers gained 25.4 lbs. more on average over those treated with DECTOMAX.2

Out here, there is no time for shortcuts. This year, think LONGRANGE.

Lean and Powerful

Insight From the Listening & Learning Session

ndustry cattle feeding veteran, Judd Butler, Winner, Colorado, has 35 years under his belt working for some of the best feedlots in the country and continues to experience big, efficient gains with Charolais-influenced cattle. As the breed evolves, Butler believes there is untapped potential for smoky calves to be strong competitors with their Angus counterparts. “Know the markets, understand potential for the most valuable calves and maximize what the breed is really about – a lean, powerful carcass,” Butler says. “It all goes back to cow/calf producers and what they’re producing for the overall industry.” Continuing to improve genetics will feed directly into growth in the areas for carcass merit and performance for the breed, and further create an animal that is more competitive and goes to market quicker. “Charolais genetics are explosive and will certainly add carcass weight. They have the capacity and frame size to perform and are very competitive with Angus cattle. Charolais will hang with the best of them if you feed them right.” Aside from hide color, Butler keeps two main considerations in mind when selecting which cattle to feed – age- and sourceverification and overall confirmation. “The producers that faithfully and diligently invest in ageand source-verified programs is what adds dependability and consistency to the cattle they ship.” For Butler, it’s about eliminating guesswork to lower loss and treatment rates when they get to the feedyard as opposed to the calves that have no documented shot records. Signatures from the ranch, veterinarian and pharmaceutical representative add peace of mind, he says. “The less stress the calves have before getting the feedyard, the easier they will go to market and the more cost effective they will be. Age- and source- verified calves are the ones that are bringing in the most money time after time, year after year. Without a verification program, it’s impossible to really know how your calves are performing at the feedyard. The biggest benefit is knowing what you have and how it is marketed to fit the industry’s needs.” CharAdvantage, for example, is an age, source and genetic certification program designed to do just that and add more value to Charolais-influenced feeder cattle. The program provides source, age and genetic verification for individual calf crops. Participants add value for buyers seeking feeder cattle with a known background that can qualify for added marketing opportunities and programs. CharAdvantage partners with IMI Global to create these opportunities for producers seeking greater premiums on sale day. As traceability becomes more prevalent from a consumer

perspective, it makes verification programs all the more lucrative. More than ever before, producers need to stop thinking about enrollment costs, and start thinking about the dollars left on the table but not having vaccination program. “Age and source factors are playing a huge role in the industry from a traceability perspective. We are getting to a point of ranch names being on the meat packages in store so we have to find ways to maximize the product that is going into the consumers hands.” Confirmation is another major consideration that helps feeders determine how big the cattle can get without being a problem at the packing plant. “The Charolais difference is their explosion and gain in their carcass weight. Understanding the different strategies in different herds, helps me to understand what the calves will do in the feedyard. It’s finding ways to maximize the animal to have the ultimate carcass weight that is the most beneficial to the packer.” Butler spends a great deal of his time working with ranchers to understand what they’re doing from a cow size perspective and analyzing which bulls consistently perform from a carcass perspective. Butler encourages producers to analyze the data themselves and incorporate the most successful genetics back into their programs. “Understanding the cows and the differences in different herds will help me understand what the calves will do in the feedyard. There are definite trends in what the bulls were to develop the bone structure and confirmation.” Another point Butler adds is the incredible performance of Charolais cattle in the feedyard during the summer months. While understanding the challenges for cow/calf producers to adjust their calving programs, he discussed how much money is on the table for having 600-700 lb. calves ready for feedyards in his part of the country by February or March. “Feeding Charolais in the summer will hands down beat any other breed in the world. They handle the heat so well and don’t have the problems we’ll see in other cattle and finishing up as the weather cools off really makes them pop.” Fully utilizing age- and source-verification programs and making genetic decisions based largely on harvest results will continue to push Charolais cattle to Prime and Choice faster, and further improve the current percentage of Charolais cattle that qualify for Certified Angus Beef, making the breed even more desirable in the feedyard.

ello, I’m Devon Benes! I am the fourth generation of our Charolais cow/calf herd. I grew up in the small town Valparaiso which is only thirty minutes from Lincoln, Nebraska. I am a senior at Bishop Neumann High School where I am involved in FFA, student council, show choir, and trap. I am also heavily involved in our 4H group and I am the youth president of the Saunders County 4H Council. I have been going to cattle shows since I was born. My first year of showing cattle was when I was 6 years old. My dad brought me along to our state fair open show and had me show one of our feeder calves in the state fair jackpot show. Since then I have showed cattle heavily and never wanted to stop. Every year we have an online sale in September and usually one in November. I am very excited to serve as the Area 2 representative on the Charolais National Board and can’t wait to make an impact.

LT Rushmore 8060 PLD x LT Starr 360 PLD Great things are expected from this low birth, high growth, super correct son of Rushmore. And like his sire, he exhibits trait leading numbers for calving ease, birth, milk and scrotal. Where he differs are his above breed average numbers for grow traits. This may come from his dam, who is sired by a Silver Distance son going back to Easy Blend on the bottom side of her pedigree. Dakota Rush was her ﬁrst calf and she ratio’d 107% on his weaning, and 103% on her second calf. His calves come small and easy, then hit the ground running. They are very correct and show a great deal of depth and rib shape. Thick, stout bull calves and heifer calves that are sure to be in demand. He’s heifer friendly - breed your heifers and sleep easy during calving season.

The easiest way to start the process is to use the AICA Terminal Sire Index. TSI gives me a quick review already in monetary form. I can quickly determine the bulls that I have interest in. I then study the bulls’ individual data. I am most interested in yearling weight, ribeye and marbling. Of course, I never sacrifice calving ease. Calving ease is a nonnegotiable prerequisite. We’ve certainly gotten a good payback from our investment in Charolais.” — Max Martin, commercial cow-calf and stocker producer • JX Ranch, Loving, Texas Charolais Genetic Advancement Calving Ease

Marketing black-nosed calves

All calves, both Charolais-cross and straight bred Angus, are weaned for 45 days before they are shipped. At the end of the feeding period, Butchsays the Charolais-cross influence adds more pounds over a straight black calf. “We have a lot of repeat buyers on our Chars,” says Butch. “Probably 90% of our calves we market through Superior at the Sheridan Sale go into Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, California and a few go to Colorado.” During the weaning and conditioning process, Mayfields use low-stress methods as much as they can. When booster shots and pour-on are administered, the calves aren’t caught individually in the chute, but rather put in a close alley and injected down the line on each side. “We try to create the least amount of stress as we can. We’ve had good luck and real good on health on the other end,” Butch says. When the calves are finally shipped, they are adorned with all the bells and whistles a high-density value-added program can bestow. Butch’sdaughterLeann Saunders is a partner in the ranch and also president of Where Food Comes From and IMI Global, a third-party verification company based out of Castle Rock, CO. Because it’s part of what she does in her company, Saunders ensures her Mayfield Ranch calves are value-added and bring home premiums. 70 

S E P T E M B E R 2019

Calves from the Mayfield Ranch are Age and Source verified, Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC), Verified Natural Beef, Superior Progressive Genetics, Gap 4, Non-GMO and everything has been persistently-infected (PI) tested. Any calves that were doctored for sickness are sold NHTC and Age and Source. Butch says he makes sure to qualify his calves for all the value-added programs available because at the end of the day, he’s after those premiums. “I get a lot of feedback from buyers with Superior that they want to go back to a char-black-cross, a black-nosed char. They have more frame, better gain, more yield,” he states. “In the last 3-4 years, a good Charolais-cross calf out of a black cow will ring a bell. It’s getting to be more of a push to buy those calves. I think the Charolais Association really stepped up to the plate and took some initiative to take advantage of this trend, and I think there’s a better market for them with the Char Advantage Logo.” Sometimes, though, he questions if one of the value-added programs is worth its work. “Gap 4 limits your management ability in big country,” he notes. “In big country you have to be on your toes because you have a 6 week criteria for castration. We still have a few horns show up, especially, out of our Hereford-Angus-cross cows, so we have to do debudding. But we’ve been able to stay within

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

our variance.” Coyotes present problems, as well. In order to keep them manageable, Butch says they have to harvest a coyote about every two sections per year. Because he wants his calves to qualify for Gap, his predator management tools are limited. We have people that come in and call and get them down to where it’s bearable. We still have a few coyote kills, but we’ve got a pretty good handle on it. “This year there’s a $6 premium on a Gap 4 calf. That gives you incentive to just bear down and do it,” he says.

Why PI

Mayfield Ranch Partnership is strictly focused on creating high-quality terminal-cross calves that bring premiums and gain well in the feedyard. Once weaned, the entire calf crop is sold. While it makes for easier bull selection and breeding female management, it requires that all replacement heifers be purchased. During the years the Mayfields have developed strong relationships with their heifer suppliers. However, while they don’t manage a closed herd, they do try to manage which cows stay for the long haul. “We feel like we need to monitor the persistently-infected brood cows,” explains Butch. “We put an identification tag in the calf when we brand. We take an ear notch and put it in a test tube to be sent off. We do an analysis on every calf we brand. If we come up withPI positive, and it’s been several years since we had a PI out of 1,600 calves a year, then we watch for that calf throughout the summer. You’ll find them around the water paired up. We write down the cow’s number and cull her in the fall. “It’s helped us identify herds that have a PI presense,” he says.

Mayfield Ranch’s future

Butch says his main goal for the future is to survive. “Our goal is to keep on going like we’re going,” he says. “I’m not sure that we would expand anymore, but that’s not to say if something came up that we wouldn’t look into it. “We need, at least a $1,000 calf in our area to keep making it, to keep our infrastructure up, pay our people good wages, take care of them, keep quality help and make a living.” Butch sums it up like this: “I’m in the opinion that we sure have to have more money than we’ve had in 2018 and 2019, so I guess what I’m saying is our goal is to ride out the tide.” Editor’s Note: Paige Nelson is a feelance agriculture journalist from Rigby, Idaho.

Charolais Advantage Program Verified by a

True Cowgirl L

eann Saunders, partner in Mayfield Ranch Partnership and President of IMI Global, a division of Where Food Comes From, oversees the verification process of the Charolais Advantage Program® offered by the AmericanInternational Charolais Association. Charolais Advantage is an Age-and-Source tag verification program for those producers using known Charolais genetics. Participation in the program requires: • Eligible cattle must be sired by registered Charolais bull or son of a registered Charolais bull (the registration number of either the sire or the grandsire must be provided) • Only enrolled cattle will be identified with Charolais Advantage tags • All cattle enrolled in this program have a recorded birth date and/or first calf born date for the calving group In Saunders work at IMI Global, she and her team verify that calves enrolled in the Charolais Advantage program are at least 50 percent Charolais with some additional attributes. “The program requires that an RFID tag be placed in calves’ ears at the ranch of origin. We then maintain that tag number in our system so buyers can look it up to verify the animal is a Charolais Advantage calf,” says Saunders. IMI works with customers in all segments of the beef supply chain as a third-party resource for a variety of valueadded verification programs, including Source & Age, NHTC, Verified Natural, GAP and many more. Since the Charolais Advantage program launched in the fall of 2018, IMI Global has been its sole verification company.
