to the Elder Charolais 13th Annual Bull

Sale.

We have been enjoying some tremendous calving weather as of late with temperatures above zero. As we sit and reflect on the last 12 months we can be thankful for a number of things. The commodity prices hit an all time high, cattle prices were as strong as ever this past fall, and everyone is healthy on the family farm. We look forward to a year with renewed hope for more moisture in the spring in the south to start the pastures and provide for the grain farmers.

As you flip through this year’s catalogue, you will see what we feel to be the most complete set of bulls to date, and we would be more than happy to show you around the pen. There are a few new herd sire groups this year, starting with our high selling bull from 2021 – Elder’s Houlio 4H. We also have sons from our newest addition to the bull battery, JWX Honky Tonk 5005H. We did see again this fall the Charolais sired calves bringing a premium in the auction barns. We do feel in this year’s offering, our bulls will give you the “return on investment” that you need in this highly inflated, fast paced world we live in. Our goal here at Elder Charolais remains the same in our desire to work hard to provide the genetics that will result in providing you, our customer, with top quality bulls that meet your needs. We breed for calving ease, performance with lots of muscle and good bone as well as strong testicle development, lots of hair and of course, last but not least really good dispositions. In return, we believe that using Charolais bulls will get you a little more jingle in your jeans.

Our bulls are on a TMR ration of barley silage, hay and 14% pellets with a chelated mineral package. Our bull guarantee is simple – if things don’t pan out (as sometimes happens), a call to us will ensure we do our very best to get your cows covered for you.

If you are a new comer to our bull sale, please note that we have video footage of the bulls online to provide you with an opportunity to see them on the move prior to the sale in the event you cannot make it here in person. The bulls are sold on sale day by video, so if time permits, please arrive early and we will be happy to take you through the pens to see the bulls and answer any questions.

Don’t hesitate to give us a call to help you find the bull that best suits your program. Come on down to the farm for a drive and go through the pen at any time. We love to talk Charolais, we enjoy the company and the door is always open, and the coffee is always on!
