Feedlot Feedback Fervour

Charolais producers have taken on board the quest for feedlot and carcase feedback with a massive entry increase in the Queensland Region’s Feedlot and Carcase Competition. Over 400 head entered the feedlot in late May

Bovine Influencers

There are many insights from leading breeders on the value of the cow herd. Comments like “a great bull needs a great mother” resonate through the industry. We deep dive into the database and find the maternal powerhouses, discover the cows with a large footprint on the breed on page 22.

Achieving Breeding Targets

A clear vision of target market specifications includes Charolais sires for Miell Farms in the Redmond district, 25 kilometres north west of Albany, Western Australia. John, Wendy and daughters Libby, Zara and Alexis conduct a beef enterprise using Charolais genetics to target their markets. Read more page 28

Sydney Royal show 2025

Mr Ben Crowley Tycolah Poll Herefords, Barraba NSW, judged the Charolais at Sydney Royal show with year with Tallimba Ussain (P) taking Supreme Charolais Exhibit. See the full show coverage commencing on page 42.

President’s Perspective

Leading into this report, I would take the opportunity to say, what an honour as a second generation Charolais breeder it is to take on the Presidency role. I joined the board in 2018 and have enjoyed contributing to our breeds future development. Alongside our Clare Charolais herd at Theodore in central Queensland we operate a Brahman stud and run a large commercial herd with these breeds. Our commercial herd provides valuable feedback on the direction and needs of the beef industry. Natalie, my wife and I have three young children and we hope to see the third and maybe fourth generation continue our Charolais program.

It’s an honour to be president of the breed in a time when the commercial industry recognises the contribution the breed offers to commercial profitability. In my term with the support of the board I am committed to strengthening the Charolais breed’s presence in the commercial beef sector. We know we have a great product that the industry recognises. Our task, the board and all members, is to promote the Charolais cross into profit message at every opportunity and keep Charolais in front of the industry. We all have a responsibility to contribute and many hands make light work.

I extend my appreciation to David Whitechurch for his contribution to the board and the role of President. David bought a balanced viewpoint to the board and his commitment to the success of the Charolais was evident in every meeting. The Charolais breed has been very fortunate to have outstanding common-sense leaders contribute to the board during the development of the breed. From our first President, Anthony Hordern through the next 55 years the breed has avoided many pitfalls of other organisations due to the willingness of breeders to put the breed first. With the board and the office team we have an opportunity to grow the Charolais influence here in Australia by ensuring we remain relevant to the commercial industry. Our goal now is to build on the strong foundation the breed has, and continue to promote the benefits of crossbreeding with Charolais.

Events like the feedlot and carcase trial the breed held in Warwick annually has validated the work breeders have spent in producing efficient cattle that can finish and produce quality carcases under real world conditions. I congratulate breeders that have entered cattle in the trial this year with over 400 head on feed.

In my travels across Australia, it never ceases to amaze me the ability of Charolais to work successfully in many production systems. Travel also highlights the variation in weather across Australia and my thoughts are with those battling unfavourable conditions currently. If you farm in Australia the words drought and floods are synonymous with the territory. I urge members to reach out and check in on others in the industry, as former President Keith Glasson regularly said “we are the Charolais family”.

Looking forward, we have the hosting rights for the Charolais World Congress in 2026 and an opportunity to showcase Australian Charolais to the world and wider beef industry. Colin and his team, the organising committee and the board are working hard to present a program to remember. The Congress will include the judging program at Brisbane Royal and I encourage members to either exhibit cattle, or visit and interact with the international delegates. There will be other opportunities on the tour route concluding with a final dinner in Sydney.

I am also excited that the Charolais Youth committee are working so well to offer youth members opportunities to develop skills in the beef industry. Congratulations to our International Youth scholarship winner, Amy Whitechurch. I am confident Amy will represent us well in Canada and I look forward to her report on her experience.

Finally, my time on the board has highlighted the great team, Deearn, Hayley and Colin are in our office. Thank you team, for your efforts, taking on this role is considerably easier knowing I have you guys in my corner. The future is ours to generate and I look forward to catching up with members and commercial breeders at events in the future. All the best to members with spring sales and here’s hoping that everybody gets favourable climatic conditions in the next six months along with a strong beef market.

Alan Goodland

Southern Multibreed

Nearly five years of studying key traits within and between breeds of cattle has left genetic research with one clear message for the beef industry: choose the best for your production system and market.

Performing ground-breaking evaluation across multiple NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development research farms, the Southern Multi-Breed Project is among its only type in the world for scale and duration. The ultimate aim of the SMB project is to supply beef breeders and producers with information on how to get the most bang for their buck in the market and on their farm. Estimated breeding values will play an increasingly important role as more information allows producers to drill down on traits within their chosen breed.

Within the project flight time was assessed in the creation of preliminary EBVs. Among all breeds measured, the fastest and slowest times - a measure of docility - were from Angus sires. “Every other sire regardless of breed was distributed between these two Angus sires,” said Dr Walmsley.

When short-fed carcase data was analysed there was little difference in marbling or carcase weight after 100 days on grain when comparing Angus, Shorthorn, Hereford and Charolais. Brahman cattle had a lower MSA index, which was expected, given their Bos indicus content. Meanwhile, the variation within all breeds was highly consistent, being in the range of six to eight MSA points.

As an example, the best Angus came away with 68 MSA points and the worst 59, while the lowest Charolais recorded 58pts to top at 66. “The average Charolais compared to the average Angus, fed and managed in the same environment, were just 1-1.5 MSA points different,” Dr Walmsley said.

As an example, the tendency to marble in Angus was countered by higher carcase weights in Charolais and when compared using the MSA index grid they were similar.

Ossification showed little difference among the breedswhen reared under the same plan of management to ensure performance to the best of genetic ability. “Between five breeds of cattle (Angus, Hereford, Charolais, Brahman and Shorthorn) there was no difference in the mean,” reported Dr Walmsley. “And ossification contributes to the MSA index in a big way.”

Marble score analysis delivered more enlightenment, with large variation within breeds, including Brahman. Angus recorded the highest marble score with Brahman the lowest, while there were no statistical differences between Charolais, Hereford, Shorthorn and Angus. Marbling ability among crossbreds was better than the mean of their parents, but Dr Walmsley was quick to point out that this area of research was new and offered “a lot more to explore”. “Even with cross-breeding, if you don’t use the best information on the parent breeds you won’t get the best crossbred calf,” he said. “The same principal applies: Get the best information within each breed for the best chance of a good result.”

Balance is not something you

“ “

find, it’s something you create

Jana Kingsford

GM’s View

Colin Rex, General Manager

In our lives and businesses, we often seek balance, the modern mantra of work/life balance, the balanced structure of a potential stud sire, the financial accounts! Our commercial beef breeding programs should be in balance allowing all parts to stay upright. To my mind a balanced outlook to the inputs and desired outputs will help producers push towards sustainability. Our industry is under external pressures to perform and maintaining a balanced approach will assist in generating the social license to operate.

Across global beef production systems, the word “sustainability” is frequently vocalised. Hand in hand with sustainability is efficiency and these two concepts will have an impact on our future beef productions systems. Beef production should continue into the future to meet global demand and utilise land that cannot grow crops and plant food sources. From a beef industry perspective, we can play a part in improving efficiencies in our production systems. Adopting best practise in our beef production systems is a vital step to maintaining a social license to farm.

Improving efficiency could be more efficient use of current agricultural lands and reducing further deforestation or clearing. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of beef produced; and more efficient use of feed. To boost efficiency without compromising animal welfare, producers can develop more digestible feeds, improve feeding practices, plant pastures with improved grasses and legumes, breed cattle for higher growth rates, improve veterinary care and improve grazing management.

Future focus on traits such as mature cow weight impacting fertility and maintenance costs and methane emissions may increase over traits traditionally selected highly for such as growth and carcase.

Whether you are a cow calf producer or a feedlot operator feed efficiency can significantly impact your bottom line. It is generally agreed that more moderate sized females should be more efficient in the paddock with reduced feed requirements and the ability to increase stocking rate. The trade-off of reducing growth traits in the breeding herd may result in less productivity in the growing and finishing phase of our production systems.

Crossbreeding is one of the most underexploited breeding tools in the beef industry. The industry’s recent push for larger carcass weights while keeping cow costs at a minimum has brought terminal crossbreeding programs to the forefront. Dr. Mark Thallman, a research geneticist from the USDA Meat Animal Research Centre in Clay Centre, Neb., presented at the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Symposium June, 2024, in Knoxville, Tenn. Thallman’s main message was that if the growth potential of a herd’s cows and bulls are the same, that profit potential is likely being left on the table. This is due to the antagonism between cow resource needs (costs) and terminal output (revenue).

For commercial producers, targeting divergent maternal and terminal breeds offers an opportunity to harness maximum heterosis in their commercial herd. A breeding herd with moderate mature cow size can be effective by adding the growth through the sire such as a Charolais. The core function of the female is to cycle to be bred, maintain the pregnancy, produce milk and rebred. Matching the cow mature weight to available resources should allow these functions to be effective. The reality is that production systems need to be considered on an integrated approach. As we adjust genetics, we need to consider the ramifications on all other aspects of the operation, including pasture management, and feed/nutrient availability and cost, if we want the system to be productive and profitable.

GM’s View

...cont from page 12

From the aspect of a Charolais bull producer, we need to balance the attributes of the breed we admire with the modern market specifications our commercial producers aim to meet. Is there a point where the genetic capability of a sire is perfect to meet industry requirements? If so, is producing extra frame, growth or muscle beyond that requirement beneficial to staying in balance and be sustainable. Does increasing eye muscle area from X cm2 to 2X cm2 area offer a financial reward to producers without compromising other production traits? We see many breeds across the globe where performance has been taken to the extreme and commercial reality is not delivered. On the flip side we need to ensure that performance capabilities are suitable to deliver. There is such a thing as too much moderation, reducing performance!

I am confident Charolais breeders here in Australia and globally have done an outstanding job in developing the breed to excel in many diverse breeding systems. The Charolais sire to use in a southern Angus program could have different selection criteria to a Charolais bull used in a northern Santa Gertrudis crossbreeding program. In Australia our Charolais breeding programs are meeting this selection diversity exceptionally well. Reflecting on the excellent 2024 bull selling results, the breed is well recognised for its attributes and highly desired in many commercial beef herds. Our challenge is to use this diversity to our advantage if and when industry market signals change in the future.

It is pleasing to see so many producers taking the opportunity to enter the Queensland Regions Feedlot and Carcass trial. Not only do they have the opportunity to benchmark their breeding objectives but also receive valuable feedback on the progress of their breeding selections. Information is king when it comes to determining progress. Over 400 head have entered the feedlot which is by far the best entry yet.

In the south and west we extend our thoughts to members dealing with a drought that just won’t give up. We hope by the time this reaches mailboxes, that opening rains have occurred however it will still be a long winter for these members. Ironically, we also extend our thoughts to members in Queensland and New South Wales that have been affected by flooding. Australia is a vast country and subject to many extremes.

It is hard to believe that this June, we have been in our purchased office for four years. The Charolais Society office has a great vibe about it and has an awesome team to work with. Since purchasing the office in 2021, the team has made it into a positive, efficient layout that makes work enjoyable. Our team has a great record of stability with Hayley close to 19 years of Charolais commitment, Deearn is heading towards 10 years and I have just clocked over my ten years. Stability of staff ensures processes are followed and creates a stable platform for the breed to operate from. Each member of our team has different skill sets to contribute. Staff turnover is a considerable cost to any business and we are very fortunate to have the stability in the office. It’s also interesting to read other organisations increasing fees to deal with administration where prudent management from the Board and staff have kept our fee increases to a minimum.

I extend my appreciation to David Whitechurch our outgoing President for his contribution to the breed. David served two terms on the board including the role of President. Ross Sticklen from southern Queensland has taken David’s position and brings considerable Charolais and industry knowledge. We welcome Ross and look forward to his contribution.

With the acceptance of the Charolais breed in many Australian commercial programs we can look forward with confidence to the future. Last year provided some great statistics with an increase in the number of bulls sold at auction, an increase in the average price of bulls sold at auction and registrations, WOW! In 2024 the society processed 10,554 registrations. This is an increase of over 2,000 calves from the 2023 data and the first time we have cracked the 10,000 calf registration barrier since 2012.

Wishing all readers, a season with “required rainfall” (no droughts or floods) and success with sales whether stud or commercial orientated. Remember the Charolais, Charbray World Congress is here in Australia in August 2026 and it’s a great time to be involved in the breed.

YOUTH PROGRAM

Amy’s heading to Canada

After hosting the 2024 International Charolais Youth program, the Charolais Society of Australia is once again sending a delegate to the International Youth program. Youth committee Secretary, Amy Whitechurch will represent Australia in Canada this year at this educational event.

Growing up with her family’s 4 Ways Charolais herd, Amy is well known to many Australian members. Living in Inverell, NSW, Amy runs her Dynamite stud, a small herd of Charolais and assists with the operations of the family stud, 4 Ways Charolais.

In 2023 Amy completed a Bachelor of Agriculture through the University of New England which led to her current job as a livestock administrator at a local Stock and Station agency. In this role, Amy operates the Inverell office while also assisting in weekly fat cattle sales, fortnightly sheep sales, weekly Auctions Plus sales, various private sales and stud stock sales.

Amy’s involvement with Charolais began at a young age and has grown over the years. Participating in Charolais youth camps since 2015 Amy has an enviable record of achievements at these events. Since then, Amy has taken on several roles to support the breed, including serving as the secretary of the Charolais Youth Committee since its revival in 2022, as well as attending NSW meetings.

In 2024 Amy had the opportunity to network with the Charolais Youth delegates that visited Australia. This provided an excellent networking and development opportunity. Later during that tour Amy, Lynette, Blake and David Whitechurch hosted our international youth delegates and provided a great visit with awesome hospitality and conversation.

Amy commented “I am eager to represent the youth in this program because I believe it will provide me with valuable skills and insights that I can bring back to help improve the Charolais Youth program in Australia. I’m a positive and enthusiastic individual, always ready to take on new challenges and learn new skills. I pride myself on being reliable, honest, and detail-oriented, and I thoroughly enjoy networking with others who share similar passions”.

Society General Manager, Colin Rex said “the international youth exchange has been a tremendous event since its inception back in 2018. To date Canada, United States, Ireland and Australia have hosted the event.

The personal growth observed in our delegates that have attended these events has been monumental and speaks volumes for the quality of the program”. When I look at our previous Australian delegates, the growth in confidence and personal skills has been noticeable. The opportunity to evaluate different production systems and genetic lines will stand these youth in good stead. Feedback from host countries on our Australian youth delegates has been extremely complimentary.

Hosting the 2024 International program has resulted in our Australian youth members establishing global networks with the international attendees which augers well for the global Charolais presence. The long term value to our Charolais/Charbray global community of expanding the skill set of our future leaders is invaluable. As a breed society we have been very fortunate in the depth of leadership we have had in the past and present. To ensure long term success we must develop our future leaders and this program is an important step in that process.

Feedlot Feedback Fervour

Charolais producers have taken on board the quest for feedlot and carcase feedback with a massive entry increase in the Queensland Region’s Feedlot and Carcase Competition. As margins tighten in farming, the need to increase performance in herd production becomes critical and feedback plays an important role.

Thirty-three producers from two states have entered 413 head. This is a huge increase from the 283 head entered in 2024. The entry numbers this year could make this the largest single breed performance competition in Australia. Entrants this year are competing for a prize pool of $15,000 on offer from sponsors and the Queensland Region. Along with the prizemoney the event generates great actual performance feedback for the entrants. A pleasing part of the entrants are eight under 25 year old producers entering cattle in the competition. There is also a significant increase in commercial producers entering cattle in the competition.

The 188 steers and 225 heifers entered the Freestone Feedlot at Warwick in southern Queensland on the 22nd May and had a settling in period before their first official weigh in. With carcasses in the competition being evaluated on Meat Standards Australia (MSA) guidelines, all cattle are Hormone Growth Promotant (HGP) free.

For the official feedlot gain section of the competition the cattle will be evaluated on a 100 day feed regime. Daily weight gains will be generated and ranked within sex. All cattle in the competition will also be priced based on the results of the Roma saleyard market report to generate a $ value entering the lot. Once processed the actual carcass value will then be used to compare actual increase in value from the feeding process. After 100 days on feed the cattle are processed and carcass data and scoring take place on MSA guidelines. All the above data is provided back to competitors along with an image taken prior to processing.

Brendan Scheiwe who has been involved in the event since inception said “we are fortunate to have the team at Bartholomew & Co at Beaudesert working in collaboration with the Queensland Region. Garth and his team go the extra mile for this event and ensure vendors receive great prices for their cattle as well as coordinating the Freestone feedlot. The competition has really found its legs as producers recognise the feedback it provides”.

In the first four years of this event the champion carcass score is even with 2 steers and 2 heifers taking the honours. Greg & Kel Kelly, Juandah Grazing have produced two of the grand champion carcasses with wins in 2021 and 2022. These two carcasses averaged 92.75 points on the hook. Clare Grazing had grand champion carcass in 2023 with 92.43 points and AK & WA Stanton, commercial producers produced an 87.63 point carcass to win in 2024.

With the results from this year taking the total number of cattle in the competition to over 1,200 in five years, the Charolais Society is building a data set of performance on purebred and Charolais cross genetics. As a breed we have known that a Charolais sired heifer will compete as well as most other breed steers on feed conditions. Results from this trial have well and truly proved this with the best heifer having a $ value add of $1,701.44. This heifer entered by breeders, Elridge Charolais gained 2.066kg/day on feed and produced a carcass worth $2,919. With a carcass weight of 420kg she had an eye muscle area of 76cm2.

Cross Into Profit With Charolais

Charolais heifers are just as good as the steers when it comes to weight gain, we have known that for a long time, but this trial has proved it.. “

Ross Sticklen, Queensland Region President

Entrants in this trial can use the extensive results provided to evaluate the direction of their breeding program and sires used. Some of the data generated has been fed into the Charolais BREEDPLAN analysis adding value to the carcase EBV’s. A myth about Charolais crossbred cattle in the past has been their difficulty to finish. Results from the last trial in 2024 saw some heifers finishing with too much finish. It was interesting to read the results of another similar breed trial in the Queensland Country Life reporting “there was a slight issue with some cattle not having enough fat this year”. It is pleasing to see that the Charolais and Charolais cross cattle achieved good results in achieving specifications.

The results of this year’s competition will be announced at the annual Queensland Region dinner at the Burke and Wills Hotel, Toowoomba. The dinner this year is on the 8th November and members and entrants will be advised of booking requirements in October.

Bovine Influencer’s

There are many insights from leading breeders on the value of the cow herd. Comments like “a great bull needs a great mother” resonate through the industry. As a breed with a strong terminal status in the industry, the maternal value of the Charolais dam can be overlooked when discussing breed development here is Australia.

Names like Sucre, WCR Sire FA Mac 2244 (P), Pinay, LT Bluegrass 4071 (P) and many more sires of influence are easily accounted for, have we over looked the maternal side. The old adage that a sire will have more calves per year than a cow may run true but as this article will show, females can have significant impact on the genetics in a herd and the breed as well. The development of non-surgical embryo transfers certainly opened up increased use of this technology and allowed mass reproduction of leading females. New technologies like IVF will certainly assist in harnessing the power of female genetics in reproduction. We have recently delved into the database and looked at the maternal side of our breed in depth and present them in this article. These ranking are based purely on herd book calf recordings per dam. There will be many dams across the country that through their progeny have provided a significant influence in the breed but were not exposed to reproductive technologies. It stands to reason however that breeders would flush cows they considered had high genetic merit. It should be noted that trends in the breed have changed over the 55 years the breed has been in Australia and this would influence selection of donor females.

If we head back to the 1970s when Charolais semen was used over assorted cows of many breeds the Friesian stands out numerically as a popular base. The reasoning for this could be varied as, they were available and economic, dairy farmers were more organised to use AI, their larger frame than British breeds was appealing or purely the abundant milk supply.

The range of breeds used was significant which introduced genes that may have been desirable such as slick coats from Brahman base females. White Shorthorn females may have been chosen for their colouration. One thing is clear, the ability of a Charolais sire to stamp their dominant characteristics on their progeny ensured a consistent phenotype by the purebred status in grading up programs.

The stand out female as far as reproduction in the herd book is Palgrove Show Girl 6 (PK P82E) bred by David and Prue Bondfield and owned by the Cook Family, Rangan Charolais. This female has 155 direct progeny recorded to her and 1,447 grand progeny. Graeme and Liz Cook purchased Show Girl 6 (P) at the 2005 Palgrove Golden Opportunity sale. Graeme recalled what attracted the girl to his attention, “she was polled, her physical structure & quiet nature as an 11yo and being a Mac2244 daughter. She had less bone than traditional Charolais making her more suitable for southern markets. Her EBV spread with lower birthweight, acceptable growth and good fat and IMF data was appealing. It was also noted that a son had sold for $11,000. Traits that she has introduced into the Rangan herd are summarised as fantastic quiet natures, sound footed progeny and IMF capability.

From her direct progeny, Graeme Cook identifies daughter Rangan Park Showgirl C7 (AI)(ET) as a standout. Sired by Gaugin, this female has 33 progeny herself including Rangan Park Redemption E42 (AI)(ET)(P)(R/F).

Sired by Harvie Redemption 36P (P)(R/F) this bull is a trait leader for 200, 400 and 600 day weight. He was also the Brisbane Royal grand champion bull in 2011 before being syndicated to leading herds. He has over 139 progeny recorded, so you can start to get a grasp on the significant genetics this line has imparted into the Charolais herd book of Australia. Another influential progeny of Rangan Park Showgirl C7 (AI)(ET) is Rangan Park Showgirl G84E (AI)(ET)(P)(R/F). A full sister to E42, this female was grand champion Charolais at the 2016 Melbourne Royal Feature show. Interesting the three class winners at that feature show in the senior female division were all “Showgirls” from Rangan. This highlights the consistency in type.

Son, Rangan Park Pinay F21 (AI)(ET)(P) sired by full French sire, Pinay bred exceptionally well with 267 progeny registered. This bull has been used across many herds. A conservative estimate of $370,000 sale value of direct progeny plus the contribution to many generations as well has made this cow a great investment in the building of the Rangan herd. Graeme commented “we wouldn’t have achieved anywhere near what we have done without that great cow. We probably owe all our success and achievements to P82 and do wonder what would have been had we not purchased her”.

David & Prue Bondfield in their 2005 Golden Opportunity Female sale catalogue wrote in the foreword “in our opinion the female herd is the very essence of any successful breeding program. The female herd sets the benchmark for quality and any compromise on structure, fertility temperament or performance means certain failures. It is no coincidence, 55 years after the Palgrove herd was recording their first calves, their female families are prominent in the list of females with progeny recorded.

Palgrove Panache 72 (R/F) PK T86E has the second highest number of recorded progeny with 105 head. This female was sired by the influential Gunnadoo Red Baron (R/F) bull that dominated the show ring at the end of the last century. A daughter of this female, Palgrove Panache 149 (P)(R/F) was the Supreme Beef Exhibit at Sydney Royal in 2010. There are over 1,100 females recorded in the herdbook from this family.

Two females from the Estella line, Palgrove Estella 7 (PK E101D)(89 registered progeny) and Palgrove Estella 31 (PK N230E)(79 registered progeny) come in at 3 and 4 ranking in this list. Palgrove gave Estella 7 a half page tribute in their 2005 sale catalogue. In a twelve-month period, she won 7 Supreme Interbreed championships in a row. This female was flushed over 20 times and sons have sold to $18,000 twice. There are 778 Palgrove Estella females in the herdbook, with Estella 7 highly regarded.

Palgrove Estella 31 (ET) sired by BCJ Peter Patriation 5P is a full sister to the dam of 2UP The Vegemite Kid, the Interbreed Grand Champion bull at Canberra, Sydney and Beef Australia in 1994. Estella 31 is a daughter of Estella 7. Palgrove Estella 31 (AI)(ET) was sold at the Topline sale in 1995 for $9,500 after winning Junior Champion Female. Sold to a syndicate including DSK Charolais where she produced most of her progeny. DSK TGL Legacy L34E (P) who won grand champion Charolais at Sydney and Brisbane Royal in 2016 maternally tracks back to this female.

Ranking number 5 is Fernvale Ja-cie (FEN J15E) bred by Tom and Ann Wilkinson, the dam of 74 progeny including Fernvale Magnum weaned at 9 months weighing 504kg and sold to Gunnadoo and Tayglen for $10,000.

Her well known calf, Fernvale Prime Mover- sold for $10,000 to Palgrove and won Interbreed Champion of Champions in Brisbane Royal 1996. David and Prue Bondfield highly rated this sire sired by Fleets Rascal. Over 587 progeny of his progeny are recorded in the Charolais database. The Palgrove website comments on Prime mover “Prime Mover was a true breed legend! It’s hard to put a value on the influence that his daughters have had at Palgrove. He was used heavily for many years and he left female progeny with volume, perfect udders that are in turn breeding the house down. His sons were always ‘sale toppers’ with exceptional Muscling and Growth.” In his day he was a trait leader for 400 and 600 day weight.

A Ja-cie daughter, Fernvale Mandie was dam of Fernvale Roadster and Fernvale Roadway. Roadster was Grand champion Charolais bull and Interbreed Champion bull Brisbane Royal 1998. Another daughter, Fernvale Primadonna was grand champion Toowoomba Royal 1999 with Fernvale Trapper at foot. Trapper sold for $35,000 to Rosedale stud. Trapper sired over 300 progeny. Fernvale Primadonna herself had 65 progeny recorded ranking her as #7 in progeny records.

Palgrove Panache 149 (P) (R/F), bred by D & P Bondfield and owned by Meribah Charolais. Supreme Beef Exhibit, Sydney Royal show 2010. This female is a daughter of Palgrove Panache 72 (R/F), the dam with the second highest number of progeny recorded.

Fernvale Ja-cie (AI)(ET), bred by T & A Wilkinson,

Fernvale Primadonna (AI)(ET), bred by T & A Wilkinson, a daughter of Fernvale Ja-cie, a female that bred exceptionally well.

Breeder Ann Wilkinson recounted that Primadonna had sold over $500,000 worth of progeny by 2012. Between mother, daughter and progeny this genetic line has left a huge legacy in the breed.

Kooyong Jana bred and owned by David and Jan Ellis in Western Australia registered 71 progeny in eight different herds. Several progeny were used as stud sires including Kooyong Polliter (AI)(P) at Kooyong, Bradiarna and Violet Hills programs. A maternal half brother, Kooyong Walpole was grand champion bull at Perth in 2002. Another Western Australian based female Twin Brooks Powder Puff (AI) had 60 progeny recorded for the Wandilup herd at Bridgetown. This female descends from the highly successful and well regarded Woodlands females in Fergie and Angel.

Tallow Wood Lullubelle III bred by JR Deer at Wingham NSW had 59 progeny mainly in the Ballangara and Barambah-Dale herds including several sires.

In more recent times Palgrove Clara 48 (AI)(P) has been a powerhouse breeding female in the Palgrove herd. Sired by LT Silver Bar 4216 (P)(R/F) this female has produced sought after sons including Palgrove Privilege P399E (AI) (ET)(P/S) sold for $32,000 to Elstow Charolais. Another son, Venturon Tallegada T192 (AI)(ET)(P)(R/F) was Junior and Grand Champion bull at Sydney Royal in 2024 and sold privately to Bauhinia Park Charolais by Venturon Livestock for $50,000 in 2025. Another four sons born in the Bardoo herd, Quadrant Q40E (P), Manpower M5E (P), Muscle Man M18E (P) and Machine M17E (P) have close to 500 progeny registered between them. A granddaughter Palgrove Clara U1305E (ET)(P)(R/F) sold at the 2024 National sale to High Country Rural for $24,000 at eight months.

Another Palgrove female in this list with 54 progeny, is Palgrove Maxine 26 (PK T92E), another daughter of Gunnadoo Red Baron. Among this cow’s progeny is Palgrove Maxine 43 (P) a cow that dominated the showring. Her success included the Urquhart Trophy at Sydney Royal and pairing with Airlie Wasserman the Hordern Trophy. She was also Grand champion Charolais female and Interbreed Champion Female Beef Australia 2003. This female then set the auction record price for a Charolais female in Australia at $70,000 selling to Ballyvolane Charolais in 2008. Another calf of Palgrove Maxine 26 (P) was Palgrove B-Double (AI)(ET) (P) who went on to be a successful herd sire for Waterford Charolais in Victoria.

Listing at thirteenth on this list of dams, Airlie Noisette Q303E (A1S Q303E) bred by the McLachlan Group at Bowral had a distinguished show career with Supreme Charolais Exhibit Melbourne Feature Show 1999, Canberra Royal 2000 and Sydney Royal 2000. At the 1999 Melbourne Royal she was Supreme Beef Female and she partnered with Minnie-Vale Thunderbolt to win the 2000 Sydney Hordern Trophy. A large framed cow sired by Airlie Fazio, her first calf, Airlie Noisette T1E was grand champion female at the 2000 National Charolais sale. Two sons Airlie Advantage and Accolade were used by Palgrove as stud sires.

Whilst the listing generated and detailed above included the females with over 50 registered progeny, there are females that have made significant influence on the breed with less progeny. Minnie Vale Peanut is well known for her two sons, Minnie Vale Sundance and Minnie Vale Deputy (P).

Apart from their successful show careers these two bulls have sired over 600 progeny in the herdbook. Sundance had a major influence at Moongool Charolais to the extent the Price family cloned him to produce Moongool Sundance. Deputy saw extended stud duties at Rosedale Charolais. Another son, Minnie Vale Sheriff was used at Mixhill herd in Queensland for stud duties.

Kenmere Kristina (ET) born in 1975 started a reliable female line with her daughters Gilmandyke Park Kristina 2nd (ET) having 31 progeny and Gilmandyke Park Rebecca R42, 22 progeny. The Rebecca line particularly bred well for Rosedale and Airlie herds, both studs having strong results in show rings and breeding paddocks. Rosedale Rebecca (P) (MR F3E) had 43 progeny including well known champion and sire, Rosedale Navigator (AI)(ET)(P) who himself recorded 438 calves.

When reading this article, it should be remembered this is a paper-based analysis of herd book data with some historical perspectives of the editor and not a conclusive evaluation of the “best female in the herdbook”. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and to quote an influential American professor/judge visiting Australia many years ago “sometimes the prettiest girl doesn’t bake the nicest biscuits”. In any breeding program the end game is personal and market driven and what traits makes a female valuable to one breeder may not appeal to another. Any female that provides your breeding program with the attributes you are seeking to breed forward with is a valuable female. The major point this article does highlight, is the strength of families that exist in the Charolais breed.

Palgrove Clara 48 (AI)(P) Progeny rank #11, a highly regarded female in the breed with sons selling to $50,000.

Airlie Noisette Q303E Progeny rank #13, a very successful female on the show circuit that registered over 53 head.

Achieving Breeding Targets

A clear vision of target markets includes Charolais sires for Miell Farms in the Redmond district, 25 kilometres north west of Albany, Western Australia. John, Wendy and daughters Libby, Zara and Alexis moved to Western Australia from Tintinara, South Australia in 2016, and transitioned to a pure beef enterprise. The herd runs on 275 hectares on the home property as well as 700 hectares of lease land.

Originally, in South Australia, John’s family ran a sheep & beef operation on lucerne pasture and 425mm rainfall. The farms in Western Australia are medium sandy loams over clay and ironstone. With a rainfall (normally) of 750 to 800mm, the farm can support good pastures including kikuyu which John appreciates in the pasture mix including clover and ryegrass. The kikuyu adds grazing time for the herd with green feed from March to January enabling the crossbred calves plenty of time for growth and finish. Forty five hectares of ryegrass is sown for silage which is fed to stock during winter when sires are out with the breeding herd, and for backgrounding the weaners.

Fertiliser is key to production pastures with a MAP/ MOP mix applied annually in autumn at 100kg per hectare with a spring application of Nitrogen if finances and the season allow. The Miell family graze rotationally which assists in worm control and applies a drench if required. Cattle are given Vitamin B12 and Selenium due to the natural deficiencies in the area. When interviewing John, he regularly references his father and his stockmanship which has set the pattern to continue.

The cow herd is one third Angus, one third Gelbvieh Angus cross with the rest of the herd mixed breeds. The 580 breeders run alongside 250 yearlings that are grown through to 20 months for the grassfed supermarket trade. Back in South Australia the family had Friesian cross Angus cows using Simmentals for the European infusion. A Gelbvieh sire was trialled on Shorthorn cows to maintain milking traits but also moderate them to be less maintenance than the Friesian cross.

Some Gelbvieh influence is still being added as John appreciates their maternal traits and mothering ability. John firmly believes that, for his breeding program to succeed, the cow herd must be strong milk producers in order to fully capitalise on both the quality sires he uses and the pasture resources available at Redmond.

The family retain 65 heifers as replacements annually by either the Angus or Gelbvieh sires. These calve as twoyear old’s in February-March followed by the mature cows calving March to May. Currently the Miell’s have eight Charolais sires with their breeding herd alongside Angus and Gelbvieh sires. Limousin bulls have been used in the past but John has found the Charolais sired calves are a bit softer than those calves for their markets.

Eldest daughter Libby is very passionate about the farm and having been exposed to Charolais when showing cattle at Ag Shows, felt that the Charolais breed had the right attributes for their breeding program. Libby spent time working at Newdegate on a feedlot and farm, had two years with Nutrien and now works at home with casual work off farm. Libby is also a talented photographer under the LJM Photography branding and her excellent images accompany this editorial.

Charolais sires are used as terminal sires over the older, third calving plus Gelbvieh-Angus cows. The aim is to wean calves in late December with the heaviest calves sold direct to a lot feeder averaging 375-380kg, while weights less than 350kg are retained and grown out on grass averaging 550kg for the grass fed supermarket trade at 20 months. Last year, John and Libby had to draft out the Charolais calves and sell them a month earlier than the rest to avoid going over 300kg CWT.

Charolais sired weaner steer calves feature heavily in the top draft that head to the feedlot and at least half of the Charolais cross heifers. John and Wendy choose to keep some back as they also suit the grass fed supermarket trade. John mentions that the top Charolais sired calves can wean off around the 430kg mark highlighting their growth capabilities.

John attributes 20kg a head on the Charolais sired calves compared to other breed sires and adds the calving ease has been brilliant, Charolais are definitely the way to go. In 2024 a team was entered in the Gate To Plate feedlot competition at Albany. Their team of Charolais-Angus cross was the heaviest average team weight at induction at 392.25kg. After 70 days on feed this team is equal second heaviest averaging 511.50kg and finished the trial too heavy!

Charolais sires have been purchased from several local studs with recent purchases from Venturon and Copplestone Charolais. Two new sires were purchased this year from Venturon including the top price Charolais bull. When purchasing sires, John aims to buy “the right bull” for his needs. The right bull John adds has calving ease, smooth front ended, softness and good fat cover, well fleshed on a moderate frame. Libby said after the above purchases “the new bulls were both easy doing and soft fleshing. They will pair well with our Gelbvieh-Angus females and produce good feedlot ready weaners,”.

Using the Angus and Gelbvieh maternal attributes and the Charolais growth, muscularity and softness in a complementary breeding program the Miell family are seeing tremendous results. Each breed is contributing and the gain heterosis from crossing into profit is evident in the images with this article. The fact that that a high majority of Charolais sired calves are hitting the premium feedlot trade suggests Charolais sired calves will be grazing at Miell Farms for years to come.

Charolais Paradise

Toogoolawah Weaner sale every May highlights the influence of the Charolais breed in the Queensland market. Hosted by agents Shepherdson and Boyd this sale regularly yards over 500 head and Charolais genetics dominate. Many of the calves are bred in forest country, sired by Charolais bulls from bos Indicus type dams.

This year weaner steer prices were up more than $200 a head on last year, driven by high levels of winter feed in Central Queensland, the south east and Western Downs. The 5080 head on offer this year topped at $1,600 for Charolais cross weaner steers and averaged $1,252. Charolais steers across the sale averaged $1,394 per pen. The 2024 sale topped at $1,370 with an average of $1,252, while weaner heifers fetched up to $1300 and an average of $945.

The $1,600 pen offered by R and C Buckham included 11 Charolais cross weaner steers.

The Queensland Region also presented separate awards for Outstanding Pens of Charolais sired Steers and Heifers. Judge John Mercer selected Dick Buckham’s pen of steers and a pen of heifers from Luck Grazing. These heifers topped the heifer sale later in the day.

Shepherdson and Boyd also have a judge for best pens over the entire competition and Toogoolawah-based producer Neil Hobart won the champion pen of steers for the first time with his 22 Charolais cross weaners that went on to sell for $1,520. Neil commented “2025 has been one of the best seasons we’ve had; there is still green grass about in early May and it should stay that way for a few weeks,” adding “I put the result down to good genetics”.

Charolais Charbray International

Charolais

Charbray Herd Book de Mexico hosted the recent International Technical Congress. Attendees from Charolais organisations around the world flew into Aguascalientes and spent the next ten days exploring the breed use in the Mexican beef industry and the local customs.

After a meet and greet the event commenced on Monday 21st April with a ranch tour at El Mirador who utilize ground cactus in their feed ration. Delegees watched a Charro competition and were treated with abundant hospitality. The evening dinner was held at the Palace where the Governor opened the Technical Conference.

The next day delegates had technical presentations on Mexican agriculture production and trade issues; progress on a study of methane emissions in Charolais; ultrasound studies and inherent probability and Progressive Ataxia genetic research. This was followed by presentations from United States, New Zealand, Canada, France, Estonia, Columbia and Ireland. It is always an important part of the event where countries compare notes and trade ideas.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) followed lunch with healthy discussion. At the AGM, Charolais Society of Australia General Manager, Colin Rex was elected President of Charolais Charbray International with Brent Fisher, Charolais Breeders of New Zealand elected Vice President. This is possibly the first time that two officials of the international federation have been based in the southern hemisphere. Candace By, well known to many Australians continues as Secretary with Hugo Retaileau, France, 2nd Vice-President and Cecile Laine, France, Treasurer. Antonio Delgado, Mexico outgoing President took on the Chair of the International Breed Development Committee.

The conference continued on a beautiful day to see Charolais at Rancho Gena. The ranch has 1500 Charolais females, the largest breeder in Mexico. They also have 10 million egg producing chickens and 90,000 sows in a farrow to finish operation. They also have Simmental, Red Angus and Brangus. They finish their own beef animals that are not registered. Lunch was at the Trujillo Tequila distillery with some tasting and the opportunity to learn about their distilling processes.

The delegates toured the Hacienda San Bartola in Jalisco. It is a 17th century hacienda that was purchased by the Cuadra family in 1990 and extensive restoration has been ongoing. They have 240 Charolais cows and also produce wine from their vineyard. Their orchard has apple, peach and plum trees. A tremendous lunch was served on the lawn.

PJ Budler (USA) judged an excellent set of cattle at the Aguascalientes State Fair. Many international guests took advantage of shopping opportunities. The opportunity to absorb some Mexican culture with a tour of the Iberia vineyard, supper, experience bull fighting techniques and enjoy live entertainment and flamingo dancers. The next day the delegates flew to Monterrey in northern Mexico. Evening entertainment was Mexican wrestling with everybody getting into the spirit of it.

The Monterrey itinerary started with a tour at Tec de Monterrey with an introduction to some of their research projects. The one that created the most discussion was a plant-based protein 3D printer. Delegates also saw an electric bike project, transparent solar panels that could be windows, a layered city map that simulates different scenarios, fabricating living cells to test pharmaceuticals, genomic projects and the Venture Café connecting different facets of industry biweekly.

At Ranch San Juan, a traditional lunch including barbecued goat was enjoyed followed by two technical presentations from Neogen and Axiota Animal Health on Multimin, before touring the San Juan herd. They have 500 breeding females of which 60% are Charbray and 40% Charolais. Tuesday, April 29 was the last day of the World Charolais Technical Conference in Mexico. Today started with the judging of Charolais and Charbray bulls at the Monterrey show. Each judge received a certificate to mark their status. The final dinner was well-attended and all countries extended many thanks for the excellent event and the host team.

Wingham Beef Week

Charolais sired exhibits had considerable success at the Wingham Beef Week 2025. Tayla Miller of Blue Gene Charolais exhibited a home bred steer in the Unled section. This steer received the Highest MSA Index score in the unled section (119 entries) and had the 3rd highest MSA Index score of the whole competition (294 entries) with a whopping score of 67.61!! The steer was sired by Charolais sire Blue Gene Sharpshooter and was out of an Angus female. Blue Gene Sharpshooter was also the sire of commercial heifer Blue Gene Peggy. Peggy, from a Charolais dam won Champion Commercial Heifer and then was awarded Overall Champion Junior Heifer. This heifer was looked after by the Scone Grammar School Year 10 Ag class.

Cultivate Ag and Ella Saul exhibited a Charolais x Angus steer to win Open Led Grand champion on the Hoof. This steer won the Heavy Middleweight division.

Charolais Grand Champion at Brunswick Show 2025

Sydney Royal 2025

Judge: Mr Ben Crowley, Tycolah Poll Herefords Barraba, NSW.

With entries from five states, judge Ben Crowley, Tycolah Poll Herefords, Barraba NSW, had plenty to ponder during Charolais judging at the 2025 Sydney Royal Show. Just under fifty head paraded in near perfect weather conditions on the hallowed lawns.

Numerically strongest, the junior heifer section commenced the day’s proceedings. The Thompson family from Boyup Brook in Western Australia kicked off their pathway to Most Successful Charolais exhibitor with a win in the Heifer 9 to 12 months class. This award is the fourth Most Successful Charolais Exhibitor for Venturon at Sydney Royal, a significant achievement considering the distance involved for this team. Venturon Brigette V101 (P) a daughter of Canadian imported embryo, Venturon Showbiz 161S (P) was commented on from the judge “this heifer really caught my eye, so much depth and capacity spring of rib and really nice, good extension on really good bone”. The dam of this heifer Venturon Bridget P77 (P) is a daughter of Venturon Keystone (P), a Royal interbreed winner himself.

Second in the class was Myona Ginghi V5 (P)(R/F) sired by the $31,000 Wakefield Raise The Bar (P) sire. Third in this class was Macquarie Vale Vogue (P) exhibited by the Walton Family making their debut at Sydney Royal.

In the Heifer class 12 to 14 months another Wakefield Raise The Bar (P) daughter exhibited by Myona Charolais took the honours. Myona Rosette V9 (P) appealed to the judge as a heifer put together well, beautiful capacity and stretch and strength of spine. Venturon took second with Venturon Victoria’s Secret V29 (P) sired by Venturon Raise The Bar (P) who sold to Minnie-Vale Charolais for $36,000 back in 2022. This sire was the Sydney Royal grand champion bull that year. Victorian exhibitors, Noelene and Geoff King trucked their Melbourne Royal junior champion heifer 2024, Hazel Downs Utopia (P) up to Sydney and she won the Heifer 14 to 16 months. Utopia was described by the judge as beautifully made and carries strong Kenmere Charolais bloodlines. Tallimba Charolais placed second in their Palgrove Romance R1309 (p) daughter, Tallimba Estella 2nd (P).

Tallimba also placed second in the following Heifer 16 to 18 months class with Tallimba Bronwin (AI)(ET)(P) sired by Elder’s Blackjack (P). Winner of this class was the Franco Family with Caloona Park Kacey U83E (P). This heifer sired by their consistent sire Airlie Kit K127E (AI)(P) was commented by the judge “the heifer on top is a beautiful moderate frame heifer with capacity, good bone and power”.

South Australian exhibitors, Boulview Charolais placed third in this class with Boulview UHeidi (P).

Venturon Livestock took another heifer class with Venturon Mellcat U213 (P) winning the Heifer 18 to 19 months class. Sired by exclusive Canadian sire, HRJ Holy Water 55H (P) Mr Crowley commented “ I love the way she is put together smooth and beautiful through the front end, with a good set up hip to pin”. Second in this class was one of the first progeny of $265,000 Australian record priced sire, Moongool Revolution (P) for 4 Ways Charolais. 4 Ways Mrs Yana U97E (P).

The final junior heifer class, 19 to 20 months show some powerhouse females parade, class winner and junior champion heifer was 4 Ways MK Lucky (P) exhibited by the Whitechurch Family, Inverell NSW. The judge led his comments with “this is a really good class of females, and, bang that’s the heifer, the class leader is a tremendously made heifer, lovely depth smooth through the front, she’s is feminine and soft, very complete”. He continued “the junior selection was an easy decision with a female very hard to fault, so well put together, depth softness and maternal type”. This heifer was sired by Moongool Kakadu (AI)(P) who has been a super successful sire at 4 Ways including progeny such as 4 Ways Nobel Kahn (P). Kakadu himself is sired by breed legend, Silverstream Evolution (P) who’s reputation is global.

The Walton Family added second in this class and reserve junior champion heifer to their successful day. Macquarie Vale Ultimate (P) was sired by Rosedale Phillip (P) and is a full sister to their heifer that placed third in the baby class. The judge appreciated the good spring of rib and depth of body, her really well set up structure, especially hip to pin in his reserve junior champion heifer. Third in this class was another HRJ Holy Water daughter 55H (P), Venturon Emma U202 (AI)(P) from the Venturon string.

In the senior female classes Greg Nicholson exhibited Black Duck Unique Eclipse (AI)(P) to win the 20 to 24 months class. Sired by Palgrove Eclipse from a Charnelle Panache female line this heifer was described by the judge as moderate with depth and capacity.

Regular Sydney exhibitors Casey and Nigel Wieck paraded a first calving heifer, CB Liberty’s Uno Girl taking the 24 to 30 months class. Mr Crowley commented she is a really good female, structurally sound and put together well and doing a good job on her calf. This young female was sired by their walking sire, Winchester Lock N Load Q1E (P). Tracing the maternal line this heifer descends from the highly successful, Advance Liberty Y73, grand champion female at Sydney Royal in 2009, Liberty won the Urquhart Trophy that year for best exhibit at Sydney Royal.

Venturon Livestock returned their 2024 Sydney Junior champion female, Venturon Fiona T216 (P) with her first calf. Sired by Venturon Ricky Bobby R6 (P), Fiona T216 continued her Sydney success winning the Female 30 to 36 months class. Judges’ comments included “the class winner has that extra capacity and thickness, she is maternal, udder integrity is absolutely intact, lovely attachment, a great unit”. The Fiona line has bred exceptionally well for the Venturon herd. The sire, Venturon Ricky Bobby R6 (P) was grand champion Charolais male at Perth Royal in 2021. Second in this class was Caloona Park Tinkerbell (P) sired by the Airlie Kit sire that has bred so well for the Franco family.

The tussle in the Senior female class over 36 months made you proud to be a Charolais breeder, three great outfits presented the judge with some hard decisions. The class win and Senior champion female sash went to Venturon Naughty But Nice S32 (AI)(ET)(P) parading with a very impressive calf at foot. Sired by multi trait leader (200W, 400W, 600W, Milk & SS), Turnbulls Duty-Free 358D (P), Venturon Naughty But Nice S32 (P) was also a previous junior champion female at Sydney Royal in 2022.

It would be rare for one herd to return two junior champion females in the same year to win two senior classes, a great achievement for Venturon Livestock. Her dam, N31 won Royal Grand championships at both Adelaide and Perth and was a reserve champion at Sydney with her first calf. Venturon Naughty But Nice N31 (P) has also produced other Royal show champions and stud sires amongst her 22 progeny and is highly regarded in the Venturon herd.

Clearly impressed Mr Crowley used the mic to explain his logic “a great class of senior females, incredible females at the top, both have spring of rib, the class winner has more strength of spine and easier fleshing than the second placed female. She is laid in through the shoulder, has depth of body, a moderate frame and doing a great job on her calf”.

4 Ways MJ Goldie P23e (P)(R/F) an impressive seven year old shown by 4 Ways Charolais was from a similar mould according to the judge. This Moongool Jag daughter also had an impressive calf at foot and showed exceptional depth of body. The Walton Family’s, Macquarie Vale Vision 1 (P) placed third in this class

In selecting 4 Ways MK Lucky (P) as his grand champion female Mr Crowley commented “there was a tremendous line of females on display with maternal qualities and structural confirmation headed up by a proven cow and a faultless heifer”. This female marks the first Sydney Royal grand champion female award for the 4 Ways herd.

4 Ways Charolais won the Two females under 24 months with Venturon Livestock placing second and Myona Charolais third.

A young sire that performed well at lead in events to Sydney won the Bull 9 to 12 months class. CB Vanquish (P) sired by Winchester Lock N Load (P) won champion at the Guyra Feature show in February for exhibitors Nigel and Casey Wieck. Weighing in at 672kg and scanning 114cm2 at 12 months this calf exhibited excellent growth and muscularity. Ben Crowley remarked on the bull “ if you are looking for thickness and softness, power of muscle this is the calf, he has so much performance and handles himself well”. This bull was used as reserve junior champion bull later in judging. Second in the class was Venturon The Rizz V103 (P) sired by Venturon Showbiz 161S (P). The judge commented he was a really soft bull with depth of flank and body. This entry weighed 556kgs at 12 months and tracks maternally back to the super cow, Fernvale Primadonna.

Sydney Royal 2025

...cont from page 43

Victorian exhibitor, Vanessa Selleck won the 12 to 14 months bull class with Winkel Park Very Cool (AI)(P). At fourteen months he weighed in at 718kgs and is a son of SVY Trust 6H (P). His Eye Muscle scan was impressive at 125cm2. His dam, Myona Penny R15 (P) was Reserve junior champion heifer at Sydney in 2024 and Reserve senior champion female at Melbourne Royal 2024 with this bull at foot. Mr Crowley commented that the class winner had a sharper growth curve, was a powerful bull with extra length, punch and extension compared to the second placed bull in the class. CB Charolais presented another Winchester Lock N Load (P) son to place second in this class. CB Valentino was a full sibling to the winner of the Female 24 to 30 months class.

Winkel Park won the next class with another Trust son, Winkel Park U Good Thing (AI)(P). Comments on this bull included “really nice moderate bull on terrific bone with great thickness, he has muscle breaking into seams over the spine, a bull to add thickness and carcase”.

Alizah, Eleni and Thomas Fogden, Loxton South Australia won the Bull 16 to 18 months class with Boulview UCodi (P). This bull is a son of their herd sire, Venturon Super Duty S30 (AI)(ET(P), a flush brother to the Senior Champion female at this year’s show. Ucodi weighed 802kg at 16 months. Tallimba Utopia (P) sired by Palgrove Romance R1309 (P) placed second in the class.

A Moongool Revolution (P) son, 4 Ways MR Uluru (P) (R/F) won the 18 to 19 months class. The judge commented “this bull is structurally correct, put together well with strength of spine and great muscle to weight ratio”. The judge used this bull as his junior champion for the show stating “his overall structure and confirmation, beautiful front end, well laid in shoulder and good yield potential visible from behind elevated this calf to the championship”. His stats were 776kg and 126cm2 EMA.

The oldest junior bull class was won by Myona U-Turn U17 (P), another son of Wakefield Raise The Bar (P). At 20 months this bull weighed in at 938kg and scanned 147cm2 EMA. Comments included “the extra extension, power, red meat capacity and thickness bought this bull to the top”. Caloona Park Unit U85E (P/S) came second in this class.

In the senior bull section there were three single entry classes but the quality was exceptional. The class 20 to 24 months was won by the Gardner Family with their Tallimba Ussain (P). This bull won his class at the Sydney Royal in 2024. Sired by JWX Silver Bullet 524W (P) and from Glenlea Mandy 2nd (P), Ussain weighed in at 1,050kg and scanned 145cm² EMA. Mr Crowley commented “he is a really good bull, I admire the red meat through the bull and the natural thickness over the top, he has clean structure and extension with tremendous width through the chest floor”.

Myona Charolais continued their successful day when Myona Trust Me T31E (P) won the 24 to 30 months class. This bull also won his class as a junior at Sydney in 2024. A SVY Trust 6H (P) son, he scanned 145cm² EMA with a weight of 1,002kg at 27 months. He impressed the judge with his lovely profile, beautiful extension and good flat bone.

Venturon Talladega T190 (AI)(ET)(P)(R/F) weighing a hefty 1,196kg and scanning 164cm² EMA at 30 months won the 30 to 36 months class. Last year’s grand champion bull, this bull has been used by Venturon naturally and his first calves are on the ground. Sired by Palgrove Landmark (P) and from the highly performed breeding female, Palgrove Clara 41 (P)(R/F) this bull has great depth of pedigree. Mr Crowley commented on this entry “this is a really impressive bull, I admire the dimension and impressive scans, he is carrying a mass of red meat, has width through the chest floor and completely through him”.

The judge then selected Tallimba Ussain (P) as his Senior champion commenting “these are very competitive seniors, really good types of bulls, the champion is impressive, I really like the softness and thickness, he is the complete package, well-made with extension and depth, good softness and freedom of movement”. The judge used the eldest bull, Venturon Talladega T192 (P)(R/F) as his reserve champion citing his tremendous power, exceptional thick and great structure.

Tallimba Ussain (P) was then promoted to grand champion bull before being declared the Supreme Charolais Exhibit for 2025.

In selecting his supreme exhibit Ben Crowley advised the crowd and exhibitors “I have enjoyed the Charolais judging, the two champions are both phenomenal exhibits for the breed. The heifer has balance and style and the bull has tremendous presence with great carcase, softness and performance”.

In group classes Tallimba Charolais won the two bulls with Winkel Park second and CB Charolais third. Wakefield Raise The Bar (P) progeny exhibited by Myona Charolais won the Sires Progeny with Winchester Lock N Load (P) placing second. Boulview Charolais with progeny of Venturon Super Duty (P) placed third in the sires progeny class. Dams progeny was won by Macquarie Vale Charolais with their dam, Ascot Refine Q83E (P) and CB Charolais placing second with dam, CB Libertys Glamour Girl. The Breeders Group was a great class to conclude on with 4 Ways Charolais placing over Venturon Livestock in second and Tallimba Charolais in third.

Post judging a large crowd gathered for breed drinks and the presentation of awards from the day. After the show concluded the Carcase results were announced by a livestream. The Charolais Stan Hill Trophy team placed second overall. The steers in this team were Wellington High School bred by Myona Charolais, Calrossy Anglican School bred by Futurity Charolais and Myona Charolais. Travis Worth selected the team for the breed.

James & Aleisha Pisaturo,

From the Chair -

It is with great pride that I present my first President’s Report for Charolais Youth Australia. Having spent the past year on the committee, and now stepping into the role of President, I’m incredibly honoured to lead an organisation for a breed that has been such an important part of my lifeboth personally and professionally.

Raised on my family’s farm as a third-generation Charolais breeder, the values of hard work and community have always been central to who I am. Alongside my rural upbringing, I’ve also pursued a professional career in finance over the past five years, and I’m proud to be graduating this year with a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Accounting.

Balancing both worlds of agriculture and finance has deepened my appreciation for the sustainability, growth, and business acumen required to support our industry into the future. I believe this dual perspective brings value to our youth movement as we prepare the next generation of Charolais leaders not only to breed cattle - but to run businesses, build networks, and take the breed forward with confidence.

Over the past year, I’ve seen our members step up in every way - from our 2024 Youth Stampede to multiple shows and national events. Charolais Youth is built on connection, knowledge-sharing, and legacy, and it’s incredibly rewarding to witness young breeders developing their skills, voices, and vision. The energy and enthusiasm across the country is inspiring.

This year, our committee is working hard to create new opportunities for learning and leadership, while strengthening the foundations laid by past members. As we continue to grow and evolve, I am committed to ensuring that every member feels supported, empowered, and proud to be part of this breed.

To finish, I am thrilled to officially announce the theme for the 2026 Charolais Junior Show: “Char Trek!”

Get ready for a bold and competitive showcase of talent, teamwork, and Charolais pride. I can’t wait to see our youth step into the ring with confidence, community spirit and maybe a little friendly rivalry too. Here’s to a strong year ahead grounded in heritage, fuelled by passion, and led by the next generation.

Youth Committee Chairperson Eleni Fogden

What impact has Single-Step had on Charolais BREEDPLAN?

Catriona Millen, ABRI Extension & Engagement Team Leader

Since the implementation of Single-Step in January 2024, Charolais breeders across Australia and New Zealand have had access to a BREEDPLAN evaluation that includes genomic (DNA) information in the calculation of EBVs. This article will explain what Single-Step BREEDPLAN is and outline the benefits that it has brought to the Charolais breed over the past 16 months.

What is Single-Step BREEDPLAN?

The Single-Step BREEDPLAN evaluation utilises genomic (DNA) information, in the form of SNP genotypes, alongside pedigree and performance information, to calculate EBVs. While still a relatively recent development for the Charolais breed in Australia and New Zealand, this methodology has been used in some BREEDPLAN evaluations since 2017. Currently there are nineteen Single-Step BREEDPLAN evaluations undertaken for beef breeders and breed societies around the world, including the joint evaluation conducted for the Charolais Society of Australia and Charolais Breeders New Zealand.

As DNA information is used alongside pedigree and performance data, it provides an additional source of information for the BREEDPLAN analysis to use. There are two ways that this is achieved. Firstly, when a Charolais animal is genotyped, the BREEDPLAN analysis can then take account of each animal’s actual genetic relationship with all other genotyped animals in the population. Secondly, the BREEDPLAN analysis gains extra information by accounting for how the DNA information relates to the performance records for each trait in the analysis.

How many genotypes are in the Charolais SingleStep BREEDPLAN analysis?

Back in January 2024, there were just under 12,000 Charolais animals with genotypes being utilised in the BREEDPLAN evaluation. Since then, the number of genotypes used in the analysis has increased by approximately 500 each month, reaching just over 20,300 genotypes in the May 2025 BREEDPLAN evaluation (Figure 1). This indicates that Charolais breeders have embraced genotyping, which is positive news as the breed continues to grow the size of the Charolais reference population.

Jan 24 May 24 Sep 24 Jan 25 May 25

Figure 1. The number of animals with genotypes in the Charolais Single-Step BREEDPLAN evaluation, between January 2024 and May 2025.

Interestingly, the proportion of Charolais females with genotypes being utilised in the Charolais Single-Step BREEDPLAN evaluation has also increased over the past 16 months, indicating that Charolais breeders are also genotyping their breeding females in greater numbers. When Single-Step was utilised in January 2024, only onethird (33%) of the animals with genotypes were female; this has risen to 40% in the May 2025 analysis.

What are the advantages of Single-Step BREEDPLAN?

Single-Step BREEDPLAN brings several advantages for the Charolais breed. Firstly, if animals are genotyped early in life, and their DNA information included in the SingleStep BREEDPLAN analysis, then this can “boost” their EBV accuracy. Having higher levels of EBV accuracy earlier in life means that Charolais breeders can make more informed selection decisions earlier in an animal’s life. In turn, this may assist to drive rates of genetic gain, both in the individual herd and for the breed as a whole.

In addition, for those Charolais breeders with smaller herds and/or undertaking ET programs, EBV accuracy levels are often limited by small contemporary group sizes even when pedigree and performance records are available. If calves are genotyped, however, they can accumulate additional information – and EBV accuracy – via their relationship to the wider genotyped and performance recorded population, particularly if outside genetics from the reference population is used (linkage).

Has Single-Step BREEDPLAN led to increased EBV accuracies?

To identify whether Single-Step BREEDPLAN has increased EBV accuracies for individual Charolais animals, the ABRI team ran two analyses. The first was the standard SingleStep BREEDPLAN evaluation and included pedigree, performance and genomic information.

The second was a ‘conventional’ BREEDPLAN evaluation that included the same pedigree and performance information but not the genomic information. Given that the two analyses were identical apart from the inclusion of genomic information, any differences observed between the two could be attributed directly to the inclusion of genomics.

The results of these two analyses indicated that Single-Step BREEDPLAN has led to increased EBV accuracy for individual Charolais animals. However, the observed increase in EBV accuracy was not uniform across animals; with those that had a lower EBV accuracy before the genomic information was included have seen the largest “boost” in EBV accuracy. This can be seen in Figure 2; which shows the EBV accuracy for 200 Day Weight when genomics information was excluded (X axis) and included (Y axis). Readers will observe that animals that had an EBV accuracy between 0-30% when genomics was excluded had a larger “boost” to EBV accuracy when genomics was included compared to those that had an EBV accuracy of 80% when genomics was excluded.

Similar trends are seen across different BREEDPLAN traits – animals with a lower EBV accuracy without genomics experience a larger “boost” to EBV accuracy when genomics is included. However, the magnitude of this increase varies by trait. Consider Table 1, which shows animals that had an EBV accuracy of 30% prior to the inclusion of genomics for a range of BREEDPLAN traits. The average “boost” to EBV accuracy for the different BREEDPLAN EBVs ranged from 7% (Scrotal Size) to 27% (Birth Weight). This reflects not just different heritabilities between traits (the proportion of variation that is due to genetics), but also differences in the number of Charolais animals that have both genotypes and performance data (the reference population) for each trait.

Single-Step BREEDPLAN is most effective when the animals being genotyped are closely related to the reference population. “

How can Charolais breeders maximise the value of Single-Step BREEDPLAN into the future?

There are several things that Charolais breeders can do to maximise the value of Single-Step BREEDPLAN into the future. These include:

1. Continue to collect performance data

Single-Step BREEDPLAN is most effective when the animals being genotyped as closely related to the reference population (animals with both genotypes and performance data). Therefore, it is essential that the Charolais reference population continues to be updated over time. If a Charolais breeder collects both genotypes and performance data on an individual animal, then that animal will become part of the Charolais reference population. An advantage of this is that the breeder then ensures that their animals are closely related to the reference population and they receive the maximum benefit from the inclusion of DNA into Charolais Single-Step BREEDPLAN.

Additionally, as we have just seen, while Single-Step BREEDPLAN has led to increased EBV accuracy for individual animals, the magnitude of this increase varies across different traits. To further improve the “boost” in EBV accuracy attributed to genomics, the size of the reference population should be increased. This is particularly important for traits that are not well recorded amongst the current genotyped population, such as Mature Cow Weight, Scrotal Size and 600 Day Weight. Consequently, Charolais breeders are strongly encouraged to collect performance data for a range of traits, as well as genotypes.

2. Consider genotyping your Charolais females

While Charolais breeders are more commonly collecting genotypes on male animals, genotypes collected on the female breeding herd can also be of value. However, the cost of genotyping all females in the herd at once can be prohibitive. In such instances, one option is to genotype your replacement heifers each year. In this way, you will build up the numbers of females with genotypes in your herd, and will eventually reach the point where all cows are genotyped. An advantage of doing the replacement heifers each year, rather than your older cows, is that the replacement heifers are likely to remain in the herd for the longest period of time before being cast for age.

For further information, please refer to The Case for Genotyping Females, available on the BREEDPLAN website here: https://breedplan.une.edu.au/media/uitlbmbn/thecase-for-genotyping-females.pdf

Summary

Over the past 16 months, Charolais breeders have embraced genotyping and nearly doubled the number of animals with genotypes being used in Single-Step BREEDPLAN. They are also increasingly genotyping female animals. This has led to an increase in EBV accuracies across different BREEDPLAN traits, particularly for animals that had lower EBV accuracies before the inclusion of their genomic data. As the Charolais breed moves forward in the genomics era, Charolais breeders are urged to continue to collect performance data for a range of traits, and to consider genotyping their female breeding herd.

Cross Into Profit With Charolais

Breed Momentum

A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of any breed society is primary registration data. In 2024 the Charolais Society registered 10,554 calves as fully registered. This was the first year since 2012 primary registrations have exceeded the 10,000 head mark. This has an ongoing benefit with more heifers registered and potentially entering the breeding herd in the future.

The 10,735 head registered in 2012 was the highest number of annual registrations in the history of the breed here in Australia. Our 2024 data was only 181 head short of that achievement. Registration data can have distortion as breeders can be irregular in their submission of data.

This said the data is favourable and reflects an end to the eastern states drought that reduced registrations 2017 -2021. Charolais registrations continue to be the major breed component in the European breed sector accounting for approx. 39% of the sector at registered status (Ref: ARCBA Registration Report 2024).

Déjà vu, Australian World Congress

After the debacle that was 2020, it’s back and it’s going to happen! Charolais breeders in Australia are going to host the World Congress for the first time since 1992. It’s been a while between drinks.

Australia is a land of contrasts and none more than the populated coastal regions on the east coast and the outback! So yes, there are parts of Australia with not much to see, but that is part of the beauty of this land we call home. In 2026 we throw the front door open again and welcome the global Charolais and Charbray community to visit. From our unique fauna and flora, the critters intent on causing mortal harm, to the city excitement, we have something special to offer.

Australia was inhabited by Indigenous races for thousands of years prior to the First Fleet landing on the east coast in 1788 to establish a penal colony. British convicts were deported to the colonies and along with soldiers formed the first European settlements. Formal federation of the six British colonies occurred in 1901 to form the modern Australia we know today. Since then immigration from around the world has established a multi-cultural society. Another significant milestone in 1969, Charolais semen entered the country as the first of the European breeds to influence the Australian beef industry.

Charolais were first then and are first now with the majority of the European breed sector registrations. Charolais rank in the top ten of all beef breeds in Australia now highlighting the influence the breed has built for itself.

World Congresses are designed to be a split of cattle and tourism experiences and our plan is to immerse our visitors in a truly Australian experience. Feedback from international friends is that vegemite should be optional!

The congress will officially commence in Brisbane which will base for several days. Whilst in Brisbane the Congress will take in Charolais and Charbray judging at the EKKA as well as tourist opportunities like Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. We are looking forward to a great representation of Charolais for judging prior to a National sale in the same format as the event at Beef Australia last year. Details of the sale will be circulated shortly to all members.

From Brisbane we will head over the range to Toowoomba and then track westward to Roma. This trip offers a range in land types from the sub tropical coastal areas, the Great Dividing Range and out to the start of the western plains. Along the journey the tour will take in some Charolais herds, industry relevant, dining and cultural experiences.

Attending 5 International Charolais events we have made lifetime friends, appreciated new cultures, toured amazing destinations, seen incredible Charolais herds & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, we cannot wait to be involved in the Congress here. “

The tour will loop back to Toowoomba before heading south on the New England Highway to Armidale, Tamworth, Hunter Valley before heading into Sydney. There will be time to immerse visitors into this internationally recognised city including some time on the renowned harbour. From Sydney visitors can either head home, take in a post tour or set off on their own itinerary. We hope to offer pre and post tours in other areas of Australia so visitors can experience as much of Australia as they have time for. In Sydney the official meetings of Charolais Charbray International will take place along with some industry presentations.

We are using the itinerary for the cancelled 2020 tour as a base document and a sub committee is working with the board to fine tune the event. It is planned to have the final itinerary and costing available for everyone in early January and bookings will commence. For Australian breeders there will be opportunities to attend functions along the way to connect and network with our international guests.

Anne & Andrew Thompson, Boyup Brook, W.A.

In other exciting news for the southern hemisphere New Zealand will host the International Technical conference in April 2027. This offers Australian members the opportunity to reconnect with new global friends and discover more about Charolais influence in the New Zealand production systems.

Temperament Selection

It makes a difference

Selecting cattle for improved temperament has multiple benefits for beef production and animal performance. Good temperament is associated with improved meat quality, feedlot performance, ease of transport and improvements in some reproductive traits. Good temperament is also valuable in providing owners, handlers and staff with a safer workplace environment.

We can define temperament as the way in which an individual animal reacts to an unfamiliar or challenging situation. Temperament of an individual animal is a result of both its inherent temperament and its environment, including handling. It is therefore important to recognise that handling may improve an animal’s reaction in a familiar situation but may not overcome an animal’s inherent reactions in unfamiliar environments. One way to improve temperament and consequently benefit cattle production is to adapt them to human handling. Early studies reported that cattle acclimated to human handling had calmer temperament and reduced blood cortisol concentrations compared to non-acclimated cattle.

Several factors contribute to the development and expression of temperament in cattle:

Genetics Hereditary traits passed down from parents

Breed Certain breeds are known for specific temperamental characteristics

Early life experiences

Age and sex

Handling and environmental exposure during formative periods

Differences observed between young and mature animals, as well as between bulls and cows

Environmental conditions Impact of housing, climate, and herd dynamics

Human interaction Frequency and quality of handling by farm staff

Good temperate is associated with higher weights gains in feedlots for both tropically adapted and British breeds. Over several trials, daily weight gain in the feedlot for steers with the best temperament is approximately 0.4kg/day higher than steers with the worst temperament. Importantly, higher daily gain in the feedlot is also associated with higher final weights, heavier carcases and better feed conversion ratio. Better temperament is also associated with better feedlot health. In a feedlot experiment a divergent group of nervous and calm British breed animals were selected on the basis of flight time and crush behaviour assessment. Over the 78 days in the feedlot no calm animal was “pulled” while 42% of nervous animals were taken to the hospital pen at some time. On average the nervous group grew at 1.04 kg/ day whilst the calm steers grew at 1.46 kg/day.

Animals with poor temperament are more likely to produce progeny with beef of unacceptable eating quality. This is because stress depletes glycogen in nervous animals prior to slaughter, potentially resulting in dark-cutting meat or reducing the ability of the beef to age effectively postmortem. Moderate favourable genetic correlations also exist between improved temperament and meat quality. For tropically adapted animals, flight time had a favourable genetic correlation with MSA tenderness and MQ4 (overall acceptability) scores, meaning selection to improve flight time will also improve genetic merit for meat quality.

There is no reason to expect significant relationships between temperament and male or female reproductive performance when animals in the breeding herd are grazed under extensive pastoral conditions. However, under intensive production systems such as artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer programs, there are likely to be relationships between temperament and performance. Australian research in tropically adapted cattle shows that docile heifers in an AI program demonstrate oestrus in the presence of an observer more often than their more temperamental contemporaries, though there was no difference in the number of heifers actually cycling. This means the docile animals are more likely to be inseminated at the correct time, thereby increasing their conception rates in AI programs that rely on observers to detect oestrus.

Research consistently shows that temperament is moderately heritable; meaning selection to improve temperament will be effective. To improve temperament in the herd actively select bulls and breeding females with good temperaments and also cull animals with poor temperaments. Evaluation of handling facilities to remove stress points will have favourable outcomes for both cattle and humans. Cattle temperament differences play a significant role in the livestock industry, influencing animal welfare, production efficiency, and handler safety.

The Charolais Herdbook

The Source of all information

At the core of the Charolais society business is maintaining the herdbook including membership and breed register and other data useful to advancing the breed. Our Charolais herd book can best be described as Births, Deaths and Joining’s. For over 55 years protocols have been applied to registration requests to allow entry into the Charolais herd book. Over time the requirements to enter the herd book have changed especially in the age of genomics. Now every calf that enters the herdbook must have a sire with a DNA profile or blood type. Dams must be active and all other stipulations in the regulations must be met.

Here in Australia we are fortunate to have the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) that has developed a comprehensive database that is linked with our BREEDPLAN performance evaluation. Once we receive a request from a breeder to register a calf, the submitted data is subject to an extensive list of tests to determine if the calf is eligible to be registered or recorded.

Terms we often hear around breed registries are Closed, Open, Appendix and Composite. Each has advantages and disadvantages. A closed herdbook does not accept any outside blood. Examples of this are Angus and Hereford breeds here in Australia. All registered cattle in these herd books trace back to the foundation herdbook in their country of origin. A closed stud book allows the breed to stay very pure to its type, but limits its ability to be improved quickly. Although closed herd books, these breeds may also run a performance register in tandem to their herdbook to allow cattle to be evaluated that do not meet the full requirements of the main herd book, eg Angus Performance Register (APR). A shift in breeding direction can only be selected from genetics available within the herdbook. In some smaller breeds with a closed herd book, inbreeding may be an issue as outcross genetics cannot be introduced.

An Open herd book allows the use of registered animals over animals of other breeds with a designated breeding system, this typically would be four or five generations. These cattle after five crosses were 96.875% of the breed and deemed purebred. Most of the European breeds here in Australia have used an Open herdbook to establish their breed here. Open herd books offer some advantages to closed herd books when traits are identified as desirable, eg the poll gene an be easily introduced. Breeders have a standard of excellence to comply with so the graded-up purebred has the traits of the breed.

In our Australian Charolais case we operate an open herdbook that allows breeding up to a purebred status. With Australian quarantine rules back in the late 1960’s when Charolais genetics were introduced we could only import international semen or live animals from New Zealand. Live animal imports from Europe were banned. Not everybody could import from New Zealand as numbers of purebreds were limited there as well, so many breeders used Charolais semen over cows of other breeds such as Brahman, Friesian or Shorthorn. The progeny of these joinings were registered as grade animals and took several generations to breed up to the nominated purebred status.

The variation in base breeds used in Australia was wide and breeders would have made decisions for different reasons including availability. The Table on the next page shows the breeds most commonly recorded as base dams. The list of breeds that have been used as base dams is extensive and extremely varied.

An advantage of our open herd book was introducing desirable genes into our breeding population. These traits included the poll gene into the Charolais pedigrees. Many of the base dams inseminated to Charolais sires were poll, eg Angus, Poll Shorthorn, Red Poll and hence many Grade A females (half breds) were poll. To poll Charolais within a closed herd book, a genetic mutation would be required.

Sucre, an original French sire that was used extensively in grading up programs in Australia, Sucre has over 9,300 progeny recorded in the Australian Charolais herd book.

A Sucre sired half bred calf from an Angus dam born in 1970. A valauble contribution to the growth of the Charolais breed in Australia including the introduction of the poll gene.

Since the herdbook commenced back in 1970, we have also recognized the cattle that trace back, one hundred percent to the French herdbook without purebred cattle in their pedigree as Full French. Analysis of the database show the percentage of calves designated as Full French account for 9% of registration in the last 25 years.

Some breeds have an appendix to introduce desirable genes but limit registration grade until a purity standard is reached again. The Shorthorn breed allowed Maine Anjou genetics into an appendix system to allow introduction of certain traits. Typically, cattle with an appendix background are designated within the herd books and breeders can decide if they introduce those genes or not into their herd. Composite herd books allow planned mating programs designed to combine the desirable traits of two or more breeds into one “package” (or composite). A more formal definition of a composite is a breed made up of at least two component breeds, designed to retain heterosis in future generations without crossbreeding and maintained as a purebred. In a composite program it is very easy to introduce new genetic lines to access certain traits. Some breeds such as Charbray and Santa Gertrudis, initially could be described as composites that have evolved into purebred breeds after many years.

With over 55 years of breeding Charolais now in Australia the majority of registrations are now at the purebred level. Calves entering the herdbook at A, B and C Grade would average 3.5% in the last five years. Australian Charolais breeders have been fortunate to have access to many Charolais herdbooks around the world. Our members have skilfully blended the best of many international Charolais breeding programs to develop our Australian type. With our heat, unreliable rainfall and large pastoral areas, the demands on our Charolais bulls are different to those faced in Europe for example. The modern Australian Charolais is adapt at meeting industry requirements and this is highlighted in the demand for Charolais sires. As breeders we should recognise with pride the contribution our breed makes to the Australian beef industry and also the international Charolais program through genetic exports.

Technical BREEDPLAN, Completeness of Performance

On the Member Search section of the Charolais online herdbook you may see logos on the bottom of the Member Detail screen. The logos indicate the completeness of data submission for BREEDPLAN and is assessed annually.

The “Completeness of Performance” herd rating system assesses the quantity of pedigree and performance information that has been submitted to BREEDPLAN by an individual seedstock herd. While ultimately EBV accuracy values provide an indication of the reliability an animal’s EBVs, one of the key factors underpinning the accuracy of EBVs is the quantity of performance information that has been recorded with BREEDPLAN. The “Completeness of Performance” star rating provides both seedstock and commercial producers with an assessment of how much performance has been submitted to BREEDPLAN by a herd.

The star rating for a herd is calculated based on the proportion of calves within the herd born in a fixed 5 year period that have performance recorded for each trait. Different criteria are used within each individual breed depending on the traits for which EBVs are calculated within the breed. Each herd receives a star rating on a 0 – 5 scale (including half stars) that summarises the relative “completeness” of their performance information.

Star Rating Description

Herds with a star rating of “5” are gold standard. They are considered to be recording “complete” performance information with BREEDPLAN for all animals across all traits for which EBVs are available.

4 or 4.5 Herds with a star rating of “4” or “4.5” are silver standard. They are considered to be recording comprehensive performance information with BREEDPLAN for most animals and traits, but are recording less performance than a 5 star herd.

3 or 3.5 Herds with a star rating of “3” or “3.5” are considered bronze standard. They are considered to be recording performance information with BREEDPLAN for a reasonable number of traits or animals, but are recording less performance information than a 4 or 5 star herd.

2.5 or less Herds with a rating of “2.5” or less are recording information with BREEDPLAN but not for all animals or traits. They are recording less performance information than a 3, 4 or 5 star herd.

Australian Charolais News - Spring 1995

Dubbo Delivers ...... with E’s Education | Experience | Entertainment

For the third successive year Dubbo showground filled with white cattle and enthusiastic young people for the National Charolais Heifer Show, held over the 17th - 19th June. Experience from past heifer shows meant that the programme had many new, innovative ideas which created a truly outstanding and enjoyable weekend. The programme was not only a challenging and thoughtprovoking experience but also it allowed Charolais youth to come together as group. forming many new friendships. This is sure to provide a firm base for the future of the Charolais breed. To quote David Bondfield, a key figure in the organisation of the show, “The Charolais Heifer Show is the best thing which has happened to the Charolais breed in the 25 years it has been in Australia,

With 74 entrants, the Heifer Show was acclaimed as the best yet. An action-packed timetable mixed with the right amount of education and competition, with the juniors learning how to take care of their heifers at show, and intermediates and seniors tackling topics such as herd health, nutrition. marketing. feed lotting and industry trends. Late Saturday afternoon saw all competitors come together for brilliant talk about animal structure and heifer selection. The open discussion format of this segment meant that juniors had every opportunity to gain from the accumulated knowledge of some of the foremost cattle breeders of today, and of the future

On display that evening were entries in the photography competition, providing rarely seen insights into many Charolais personalities. With dinner cleared away, competitors formed into their teams and, despite the freezing night air, participated energetically in a number of zany games, managing to get themselves dirty or wet or both. The climax of the night was a series of tug-of-war matches and, if the strength of the pee-wees is any indication, Charolais will most certainly take out the tug-of-war at Beef 2000.

With the Junior Judging completed by Iunch time Sunday, it was obvious that the breed is in very competent hands, for the depth of knowledge displayed by the juniors was phenomenal.

| Enjoyment

This was followed by heifer judging under close scrutiny of young men who themselves were competitors in heifer shows not long ago; Andrew Gapes and his associate Steve Carter. For their Grand Champion they chose Airlie Primrose, exhibited by Kylie Griffin. Kylie, a long time Charolais supporter, also won the Junior Judging for the second year in succession and eventually took out the Herdsman Award.

At the Charolais Youth Group AGM which followed judging. Kylie was elected Secretary, with Jason Catts as Chairman, and Ariana Svenson as Publicity Officer. We are sure that this executive, along with the newly elected committee, has the drive and ability to eventually take full control of the Heifer Show for itself.

Sunday night was a highlight in the entertainment with a side-splitting teams marketing competition complemented by some artistic handiwork by the Pee Wees in their poster marketing. These events, although fun, give all juniors the chance to develop their marketing and public speaking skills which are key tools for successful promotion of the breed. Competition over, the juniors got down to the serious stuff line dancing -led by several energetic and (might we say) talented mothers.

The concept of “teams” which worked together throughout the Heifer Show was introduced to try to forge new friendships between competitors, and to create more senior-junior interaction. On the Monday morning the teams formed once again for a final showdown in the teams fitting, putting to test all they had learnt during the weekend. The frenetic pace continued into the afternoon with the handlers under young judge, Leanne Ridley, whose task made much harder by the talent and was composure of the contestants. She eventually selected Josie O’Brien as Senior Champion Handler, and Andrew Postle as Junior Champion.

Each competitor Ieft the awards ceremony with a smile, for even if they had not won a prize they were still winners, having had the experience of this weekend. All went home with new knowledge and new friendships.

From the Archives - 1995’s

“the message has stood the test of time and still rings true”

These are the true essences of the Heifer Show and are among the factors which make it such a relaxed and happy weekend for competitors, helpers, breeders, and parents alike. None of this would have been possible without dedicated worker and multitudes of helpers over the weekend. Our sincere thanks to them, and also for the generous sponsorship from various studs and sections of the community. In particular we wish to extend enormous gratitude t0 our major sponsor, Combined Rural Traders (CRT Your Local Bloke). We thank you for your confidence and assure you that your contribution to development of our youth is ensuring the future of Charolais. Ariana Svenson, Youth Publicity Officer.

First Territory Youngsters at SA Junior Heifer Show

During the 1995 South Australian Junior Heifer Show it was pleasing to see 17 Charolais handlers taking part. This show. which is held at the Wayville Showgrounds, had 144 entrants aged from three to twenty-three years and covering 15 beef breeds. The main object is to give participants an insight into the cattle industry. from pasture improvement to breeding and marketing. whilst honing their ringcraft and showing skills.

This year the SA/NT Youth Group sponsored 2 Territorians, Clinton Karger (Orange Creek Station) and Rachel Prior (Hamilton Downs Station), and this was the first time ever there had been entrants from the Northern Territory Ballot heifers were made available, thanks to Terry and Maylene Griffin from the Temana Charolais Stud, and guiding hands were provided by the Youth Group, Murray Ferme (Gum View Charolais Stud), and the Wilson family from the Arabar Charolais Stud. Gary, Val, and Jason Prior made the big trip down to keep Rachel company and involved themselves cooking meals, judging entertainment, and leading animals for the junior judging.

Charolais Youth Publicity Officer, Ariana Svenson, participated in the show and was runner-up for the major prize, a four month visit to North America - well done, Ari! Other awards were evenly distributed between the Youth Group competitors. Excellent -see you again next year.
