Meet the Family!
DESCO Charolais Farm began in 1989 when Daren decided to purchase a Charolais bull from LeRoy Myers as an investment for a college fund. Over the years, the herd continued to grow as he is working towards creating outliers for carcass traits, specifically marbling. Daren has been able to acquire some of the best growth and carcass trait females from the Eggleston, Fink, JMAR and Daren currently devotes all his time to embryo transfer work, his other passion. He does intensive Artificial Insemination and Embryo Transfer to advance genetic progress to the maximum potential.
She’s a carcass trait homerun, as she is in the top 1% for both ribeye and marbling, a rare combination. She’s also in the top 10% when it comes to WWT, YWT and CW. 7548 continues to prove herself on pasture, with excellent milk production, while maintaining an ideal body condition. Her daughters should do the same for you!

We purchased the pick of Eaton cows in the 2023 National Sale and choose this cow from the 2000+ we evaluated. Davidell's EPDs are stacked with WW top 4% YW top 5%, Milk top 3%, Mat top 1%, TSI top 7% of the breed. She ratioed 121 for both WW and YW and was ranked #2 out of 162 contemporaries for Wean weight. As well as #2 out of 121 contemporaries for Yearling weight. Then check out her calves performance. 1st WW 114
Her dam’s offspring wean weights are even more impressive! 2nd WW 121 YW 118 3rd WW 124 4th WW 110 YW 105 6th WW 115
We are excited to see the calves that are coming form this cow with this consistent performance history with EPDs that match.
