Fall 2024 Charolais Bulls
Top: 35% CE, 35% BW, 15% WW, 2% SC, 25% CW, 9% Marb., 20% TSI. The dam is now 10 years old and still a donor for Tom Greco. “Miss Lady” is one of the higher marbling cow families in the U.S. along with one of the most proven with large numbers of ultrasound and DNA data. Real world harvest data confirms it is real. Tired of feeding cattle with structure, health, and higher death loss? Charolais cross can be part of the answer.

A younger bull, Fink bulls are not full fed to sell. Fat bulls aren’t good for anything except producers wonder where their bulls disappeared during breeding season. Feet and semen production are jeopardized on many bulls with fat approach. Lots of proven marbling in this bull, still with growth and muscle. Not all white bulls are created equal!!

From the high marbling “Miss Lady” family. Want to create thick topped steers that stand out with 50 plus extra pounds? Many folks do! Hybred vigor, a planned maternal-terminal with todays data available in several breeds is not the cross breeding mess of 40 years ago. The future will be changing when a new system of yield grade is devised. This bull is PAC. 145 Cowtown x Benaiah x Gold Standard CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 18.9 -6.4 60 119 17 13.4 47 0.9 26 .47 .022 .31 277.6 LCC 4731 OF 2122 CT DOB: 9/08/2024 Reg #: M1011214 Tattoo: 4731

Top: 2% CE, 6% BW, 8% WW, 20% YW, 6% MCE, 1% SC, 4% CW, 1% Marb., 2% TSI. A complete made bull. Cowtown bulls have a good look to them. If a producer is think- ing about trying a white for the first time, this set of bulls might be a good start. These bulls slick off well. Maternal - Terminal approach to genetics does work, expenses get more, so it makes sense to control cow size and gather hybred vigor.

Moderate, deep, soggy, thick, Charolais bulls can create 50-100+ weaning weight. An extra 50 lbs. at weaning would be around $200/calf, if it was 100 lbs. extra that would be around $350/calf. Double bred Free Lunch and New Standard, two of the breeds best for many traits.

The dam of this bull is also the dam of Fink Silver Dollar, co-owned with Frank Turner & Son, managed by Dave Iinis of AL. We are using Silver Dollar in our program, and there are some pretty decent sons in this sale. She also produced a $25,000 pick of heifer calves at the sale of Excellence in Texas. Moderate framed, excellent TSI bull! Hybred vigor is proven, if predictions of 2,000 lb. steers in the future is even halfway correct. It will be hard for one breed genetics to cover everything, cow size can be savings (profit) also but power calving ease bulls will be a part of it also.

This bull has a slight tannish to his hair color - Charolais bulls work in any environment heat or cold. White color reflects heat, when other breeds are hiding under trees, the whites are out!! Trim fat with genetics not a knife, and add pounds at the end! Poten- tial Replacements here. DOB: 8/22/2024 Reg #: M1011596 Tattoo: 4682
