Reference Sires
CEDARLEA Tapadero 17G
GEPD CE 11.5
BW -.3 WW 51 YW 110 M 21 TM 47
Homozygous Polled We started to use Tapadero, the high selling bull from our 2020 bull sale purchased by Kay-R Charolais, on a select number of cows. He is a curve bender with his calving ease in the top 10%, his weaning in the top 25% and yearling growth EPD in the top 10%. His sons will add length and muscle, improve foot structure and increase weaning weights without compromising calving ease.

CEDARLEA Shoeless Joe 83C

Homozygous Polled Shoeless Joe has been an outstanding herd sire for Turnbull Charolais in Alberta since 2016. We like him for his ability to produce sons that are structurally sound with an outstanding EPD profile and built-in longevity. His offspring will improve carcass merit which has become a focus at Cedarlea Farms.
