Spring 2026 Female Sale Many donors, past or presently flushing, are in this offering. This is not a “sorting” offering. These cows are all here because they made the cut. Cows in this sale look the part, number up the part, feet, udders, teats, disposition, were important DECADES ago. Any footnotes will include any issues that we are aware of, we try to be completely transparent in any of our business deals. From a genetic standpoint we think the cows speak for themselves. Highly proven pedigrees, full of bulls that have sired hundreds/thou- sands of calves help create less mistakes/surprises for new owners. Many in this offering rank in the top 3% (many in the top 1%) of the entire breed for marbling, but not giving up growth, maternal or deep soggy cows. “Kind” must always be important! The Charolais breed is in the strongest position potentially of any breed, making great strides on marbling, but not giving up growth, true muscle, etc. Fat is expensive to put on market cattle. Fat, AGE, makes pounds and higher quality - not necessarily rocket science. Cha- rolais have the muscle, ability to grow and still have quality grade. Presently yield grade 4 and 5 cattle rarely receive a discount. A few years ago they were hammered on price. Trimming fat will not feed more world population economically! Charolais trim it genetically! No better cross in the industry. Don’t ever forget white handles heat!! The future is bright for the Charolais breed. Ask any feedlot manager or packer. We all must pay attention to genetics, birth weight and especially calving ease, fertility and then growth and carcass. There will be more females offered in this sale, that rank high in marbling, than any sale ever offered at one time, in the world!! Note: The industry is currently working on a new Yield Grade formula. It will be a big win for the Charolais Breed!!
