CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 15 -3.1 67 140 24 10.6 57 1.6 41 .85 .024 .42 309 Top: 20% CE, 20% BW, 8% YW, 9% SC, 8% CW, 25% REA, 2% Marb., 3% TSI. Finks probably offer as many high marbling, high carcass weight (payday!) and high TSI bulls in every sale as anyone in the entire U.S. We got lucky on lining these traits up 25 years ago - knowing our commercial customers were our goal. Now our bloodlines line up 3-5 generations of these kinds of cattle.

This bull missed the top 100 bulls in the breed for marbling by a hair. He is .50! Want to improve yield grade and still produce choice and prime cattle? This one should.
CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 11 -0.2 71 147 27 8.6 62 2.3 50 .89 .010 .34 319 Top: 25% WW, 4% YW, 1% SC, 2% CW, 20% REA, 6% Marb., 1% TSI. A touch younger bull that is coming along very well. Fattening is not part of, and has never been part of, our program. Charolais bulls have been on a 2#/day designed ration - and moved in January to a 2.5#/day gain until sale time. They generally are around .10-.13 backfat at ultrasound time. That’s pretty lean!

This bulls mother didn’t milk as well so he is behind - we are not recommending him for replacements but look at his EPDs for growth and carcass. He will catch up!! Actual WW won’t change his ability to sire pounds!
CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 2 1.0 70 145 23 -2.9 58 0.9 44 .92 -.015 .36 308 Top: 5% YW, 5% CW, 15% REA, 6% Minus Fat, 4% Marb., 3% TSI. A solid Hondo son. Hondo is a powerhouse, right framed Charolais bull with the ripple in his butt, he moves like a cat, and an excellent disposition. Hybred vigor and the maternal-terminal approach to a cowherd can add extra profit.

CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 11 0.0 73 150 24 7.6 60 1.6 42 .74 .005 .35 304 Top: 20% WW, 3% YW, 9% SC, 7% CW, 5% Marb., 5% TSI. A much younger bull - remember we could push our bulls to 4-5# of gain if we wanted to, and the younger bulls would have a better chance of catching up weight wise. This bull probably won’t look any different than his counterparts a year from now. We don’t want fat, smooth, slick bulls, they look good until they start working.
CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 11 -2.3 56 100 20 0.3 48 1.4 22 .43 .052 .50 266 Top: 30% CE, 20% SC, 20% DOC, 1% Marb. Only one Keystone in the sale but he’s pretty good! His dam sold to Ankony Land in Georgia for $24,000 and now she is owned by Circle F in Georgia, in their donor pro- gram. This bulls dam is currently the #5 female in the breed for marbling, out of tens of thousands and she was born in 2016. She ranked #ONE in the entire breed for three years straight. “Miss Lady” family, nice bull! Potential replacements.

CE BW WW YW MILK MCE MTL SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 13 0.9 69 145 16 14.6 50 1.2 44 .77 .010 .39 312 Top: 30% WW, 5% YW, 5% CW, 3% Marb., 2% TSI. Double bred Gold Standard with solid EPDs. How many Charolais cross calves that we all see from time to time, lack power? Very few! Every breed had to much frame in the 1970-90’s time era, Charolais included. Fink Charolais are not those kind of cattle of yester year.
