CHOICE OF THE STIPE CHAROLAIS HERD
CHOICE OF THE STIPE HERD 9 Selling Choice of the Stipe Charolais Herd in Montana. There are over 200 head of spring calving cows in this herd and no cows have sold off the top for many, many years. You may wait until these females have calved out this spring which allows you the added value of selecting a pair when you do not have to make this selection until May 1, 2026. This reputation herd has been undisturbed for many years now; there must be a diamond in the rough to be found. Stipe Charolais has been in the Charolais business since the 1960’s with an emphasis on carcass merit and disciplined calving ease. In the early 1970’s they began selecting for earlier maturing Charolais resulting in the ability to reach “Choice” at industry optimum weights. The Stipes demonstrated the quality of their program for many years in the National Western Stock Show Fed Beef Contest. They dominated the competition through the 1990’s with purebred Charolais heifers. In the history of the contest, the Stipes bred and exhibited more Grand and Reserve Grand Pens than anyone in both the Retail and Restaurant Divisions! Documented performance and carcass data through the Horton Sire Test in the late 1990’s a random mating progeny test measured results from conception to cooler. After five years of testing in 1999 SCC Charlie A183 was the Net Profit Sire out of 79 total sires tested from six breeds evaluated. Noted sires from the 90’s SCM Montana Marbler and SCM Double Joe impacted the breed’s carcass records. Presented by Stipe Charolais, Chico Stipe: 406-274-5510
