Murray Oram,aged 60 years of Central Butte, Saskatchewan, passed away in a car accident Sunday, November 27th, 2011. He was predeceased by his father, Reg; brother Chris and his wife Anne; and by his wife, Barb. Murray is survived by his three children: son Ryan (Melissa), daughter Audra, and son Cole (Cathy); grandchildren: Christopher and Nicole, Greg and Tristan; his very special friend, Donna Brewster and her son and daughter and their families; his mother, Elizabeth (Betty); brothers and sisters: Kathy Martin (Ken Piller), Judy (Ian) MacMillan, Kim (Don) Harder, Mark (Deb) Oram, Kerry (Dianne) Oram and Shane (Doris) Oram; and all his nieces, nephews and their families.

His beginning goes back, as many Charolais stories do, to a basis in 4-H. In 1966 Murray raised a Charcross 4-H calf purchased from Wendel Schinold. Murray started in the Charolais breed in the late sixties and was a founding member of the original junior association in the early 70s called the Canadian Youth Charolais Association. He sat as the junior representative on the SCA board at the time as well.

Murray and his family were Valley’s End Ranch and worked closely with Edgar Philpott and the Butte Lee Charolais operation when they got started.
