Greetings 2026! At this time, we’d like to thank all our buyers and bidders that made last year’s sale a success! We truly appreciate your interest and confidence in our program and strive to make you happy with your purchases! Our customers, whether it be from last year or previous years, are what keep us in business, and we value each and every one of you! As we enter into our 50th year raising purebred cattle, we reflect on what started out as a dream, and with hard work and determination, has come full circle, as we now have our daughter, son-in-law, and their family involved in the opera- tion! (Nothing better than having our grand kiddos out in the barns and lots at an early age, exhibiting that same wide-eyed enthusiasm we had many years ago!) Time flies but the cattle industry remains basically the same. We all want easy keeping cows that calve smoothly and raise big calves. That’s where herd sire selection comes into play, and why it is so important to select quality herd sires that will get the job done well. We select bulls to sell to our customers that we would not be afraid to incorporate into our own herd. We cull hard in the spring when the bull calves are born, and again in the fall as they are weaned and on feed. Just because that calf is a purebred, it doesn’t mean he has what it takes to be someone’s herd sire. The bulls are on a grower feed ration that we have made in Harvey at Feed Mix. The ration makes the most of their frames and is not hot feed that will burn them out. Herd health is very important to us, and every animal on the place is on a select mineral program, as well as vaccine regimen. You are welcome to view the bulls at the ranch prior to the sale. And they will be penned at Rugby Livestock Auction beginning Thursday, February 19 for viewing there. If you are unable to at- tend the sale, videos will be available on DVAuction.com where the entire sale will be broadcast live, or feel free to leave bids with Larry, Julie, or a representative from Rugby Livestock Auc- tion. Also, make sure to check out our Facebook page – Starr Charolais & Angus for the latest notifications and supplements. Please contact one of us if you’d like to learn more about the bulls! We are proud of our offering and would love to answer any questions you may have! We look forward to meeting new friends and catching up with the old! We wish you good luck calving, green pastures, and bountiful hay in 2026 and beyond!

Rarely do we have the opportunity to raise a “best ever” calf, but we are pleased to introduce you to this herd sire prospect with everything we breed for; all the qualities any cattleman searches for – calving ease, explosive growth, large frame, and a super disposition! And his dark red coat represents the red factor on both sides of his pedigree. Out of an outstanding red colored front pasture 3-year-old cow that we can spot from anywhere in the pen. We feel 562S is truly one of the best bulls we have ever raised! His picture doesn’t do him justice. He’s big, long, wide topped, thick butted, smooth shouldered, with a 903# WW at 205 days! And continues to stretch out and gain without sacrificing smooth- ness of body! His sire Bounty Hunter stands 65” at the hip and is long as a freight train- 562S will be a big brute as well. He possesses the qualities to be an asset to a purebred as well as commercial setting!

The Red Charolais Explained The white coloration of Charolais results from Charolais processing a double set of “SIVL” diluter genes. Nearly all Charolais are homo- zygous for the two genes making them dilute to white. Rarely though a pure Charolais is born without these diluter genes resulting in them be- ing red. “Charolais cattle are red but posses two alleles for dilution which results in a white coat color.” (OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY) “Variants in the PMEL17 gene cause a color dilu- tion from red or black to pale cream or white coat color.” (UC DAVIS) The explanation from the Charolais Society of Australia LTD states “Rather than thinking of Charolais having the diluter genes making the cattle white or not, we need to recognize that the diluter gene, just as its name suggests, dilutes the Red base coloring rather than rids it.” “There are only two basic coat colors – black and red.” “To reiterate, the genetics that influence the white color of Charolais is known as the diluter gene which effectively masks the Red base color and allows the Charolais the distinctive color of white.” What these explanations all agree on is that the true base color of Charolais is Red. However, Charolais are nearly always homozygous for a double set of diluter genes making them white. On rare occasions a pure Charolais is born as a non-diluter which results in the animal keeping its base color of Red, thus the Red Charolais. There is a common misconception that Red Charolais are bred up from another breed. They are not, they are pure Charolais that are diluter free. The reason that Charolais are not affected by cancer eye is that their skin is pigmented as a red animal, but their hair color has been diluted to white, much different than the white head of a Hereford. It should be noted that a white Shorthorn does not have a diluter gene but is acutally a whitened roan. When you look at a typical Charolais animal, you are actually look- ing at a Red Charolais that has diluted to white.
