The Florida Bull Test proves it again, Rogers Bar HR Charolais bulls dominate the competition. Rogers Bar HR Bulls outgained all other breeds on the Florida Bull Test AND we also had the top bull in feed efficiency -that means they put on more pounds with less. By using Rogers Bar HR Charolais bulls, you get more pounds per calf at weaning and thus more money in your pocket!

VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS We are all in this together

Independence and collaboration are equally paramount

Often heard, “we’re all in this together” is a common statement of

solidarity. These days, both statement and purpose seem to get lost in a shuffle of politics, rhetoric and exaggeration. The fact remains, we are all in this together. The beef industry is bigger and better today because, over decades of progress, we’ve outgrown our borders, improved our product and provided opportunities for large and small stakeholders to be successful.

For a little perspective, in 1967, approximately 34.3 million head of cattle were harvested for an average market price of $23.34 per hundred weight ($.23/lb). A USDA report, Overview of the United States Cattle Industry, states that in 2016, cattle production ranks first in the United States for cash receipts. In 2015, the U.S. exported 1,067,614 metric tons of beef

price for a pound of USDA Choice beef in 2015 was $6.29 and we consumed more than 24.8 billion pounds.

At the grassroots level, emerging research toward feed efficiency, animal behavior, nutrition, health, genomics, sustainability and resource management will move the beef industry even further toward better beef production. For the past 50 years, the beef industry has poured money and intellect into science and technology. From artificial insemination in the early 1950s to genomic information today, we can generationally move populations of cattle toward a chosen end use target with laser like accuracy.

The point of all the numbers is the reality that the beef industry has matured beyond the imaginations of only a few a mere 50 years ago. The industry, like many others, grows more diverse, yet specific at the same

“At the grassroots level, emerging research toward feed efficiency, animal behavior, nutrition, health, genomics, sustainability and resource management will move the beef industry even further toward better beef production.” and generated more than $6.3 billion in revenue. Our trading neighbors to the north and south purchased 33% of the U.S. export total. Recent data indicates total beef exports add $250 to the value of every carcass harvested.

We harvested more than 28.7 million head of cattle in 2015. You do the math!

A couple of years ago, Japanese research was done to determine consumer preference for beef. Two-hundred-fifty-eight Japanese meat buyers were surveyed. Thirty-five beef brands were surveyed, including 33 Japanese and one Australian brand. U.S. beef ranked fifth among all surveyed. The Australian beef ranked tenth. However, Australian beef ranked higher in availability, price, safety and traceability. By the way, in 2015, Japan imported 204,927 metric tons of U.S. beef at a total value of $1.28 billion.

Value-based marketing has given producers extraordinary opportunities to earn premiums for higher quality. Consumers have many meat case options today. Natural, grass-fed, organic and hormone-free beef are market niches with markedly higher price points at the meat case. Checkoff dollars invested in research have resulted in new, affordable muscle cuts now showing up in meat cases and restaurants. Domestically, the average retail

time. Today, more than ever in the history of meat animal food production, the scientific “fly wheel” of progress moves faster and faster.

Homage must be paid to those curious entrepreneurs who, decades ago, were convinced we could produce better beef. Whether importing lean, heavier muscled, European genetics, to initiating the performance movement, the modern equation resulting from their vision is nothing short of remarkable. Charolais was a centerpiece in the quality equation then, and it still is today.

Many registered seedstock producers may not fully appreciate the importance of Charolais and Charolais-influenced genetics throughout our beef production system. From reproduction efficiencies to end product merit, these cattle compete in a global marketplace for consumers’ approval and dollars.

Industry independence and collaboration are equally paramount to defining beef industry sustainability and marketability. Beef producers using or producing Charolais genetics understand. We are all in this together.

Hey everybody I’m Cagney Effling your Area 2 Director!

I am a senior in High School and live in Highmore, South Dakota. This is my second year serving on the AIJCA Junior Board of Directors. I showed my first Charolais heifer at the Junior National in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 2010 when I was 11 years old, and I have been hooked ever since.

For those of you who do not know, the Charolais breed is not the only breed that I am involved in. Both the Simmental and Hereford breeds are a large part of my life. Not only does my family raise these two breeds, but we also show them. By showing them, I have become extremely involved within the junior programs that they provide. My sisters and I have always been encouraged

us for the real world and that can help us accomplish something when we get there.

Activities within the junior breed associations are only preparing us for our futures. Any form of a team activity allows us to learn how to work with other individuals who might not think the same way we do. Speaking contests give us a chance to build our individuality and make things our own. Group work is an opening for those who want to step up to the plate and be a leader do that. All of these skills can continue to grow and become skills that can help us pursue our dreams.

As a former young junior member who had no clue what she was doing, I want to tell you to go for it. Be

“We are all given opportunities. Whether they be small or large,an opportunity is an opportunity. What is important is that you learn how to capitalize on them.” to participate in as many activities as possible and being in more than one breed association was one of them.

Being in these breed associations has opened doors that I never thought possible, all because we have taken the opportunities that were provided to us.

We are all given opportunities. Whether they be small or large, an opportunity is an opportunity.

What is important is that you learn how to capitalize on them. These occasions are only as grand as you choose to make them. The possibilities are endless.

Any activity provided by a junior breed association can be utilized to better you as an individual. Participate in photography, public speaking contests and interviews.

Get a heifer project and train her for showmanship, get some friends together and fit her for the fitting contest or come up with a sales pitch and sell her in the sales talk contest. These are all opportunities that prepare 24 

involved in as much as you can. Do not be the person that sits in the corner and wonders what might happen.

Be the person who goes out and tries something new and becomes a leader. Be the member who finds their niche because they took a chance and weren’t afraid.

Step out of your comfort zone and take the junior breed programs for what they offer, because the opportunities won’t always be there.

AICA to Visit

King Ranch!

Saturday, March 25, 2017 $50 ticket includes transportation, a guided tour, lunch, admission to the King Ranch Museum and Saddle Shop.

Guided Historical Tour

The journey begins at the historic Santa Gertrudis Creek where Captain King first camped in 1852. Nearby, modern brush clearing equipment, land-going leviathans conceived and developed on King Ranch to clear mesquite and huisache from the pastures, has found a permanent parking place. Continuing your trip, your guide will explain the history and the modern day workings of the Ranch. You will see the Calera Pens where at roundup time the cattle are vaccinated, branded, and tagged. Keen eyes will spot wildlife along the way, and our wildlife tours are a totally separate program. Tours will pass the Auction Arena, the horse cemetery, and the Colony – home of the Kinenos or King’s Men. Historic buildings include Mrs. King’s Carriage House, the Commissary with its lookout tower, the show barn, and the grand home built in 1912 by Captain King’s widow, Henrietta.

King Ranch Cowboy Camphouse Barbeque

Ring the cook’s dinner bell and experience a barbeque at an historic King Ranch cowboy camphouse. Lunch includes beef brisket and smoked sausage prepared over a mesquite wood fire!

King Ranch Museum Admission

The museum is the definitive repository of ranch lore and the items on display clearly evoke the bygone days on Captain King’s legendary spread. The King Ranch Museum’s permanent collections include: Toni Frissell’s awardwinning photographic essay of life on King Ranch in the early 1940’s; saddles from around the world, guns, and rifles including a King Ranch commemorative Colt Python .357 magnum revolver (serial number KR1), a limited edition series of full-scale replicas of historic Republic of Texas flags, and antique carriages and vintage cars, including El Kineño, a custom designed Buick Eight hunting car built for Congressman R. M. Kleberg, Sr., in 1949

by General Motors. Upon arriving at the King Ranch Museum, you are welcomed with a bronze sculpture of Mrs. Henrietta King and her son-in-law Robert J. Kleberg, Sr., as well as a sculpture of the first artesian well that was drilled on King Ranch in the summer of 1899. Visitors can view videos about the history of King Ranch and its main residence. Enjoy the current temporary exhibit Echos in the Dust: Memories from the Cattle Trails.

King Ranch Saddle Shop.

Located a few minutes away from the King Ranch Museum and the King Ranch Visitor Center, you will have the chance to shop our leather goods and outdoor gear at the store to take home. The King Ranch Saddle Shop continues to practice what the early saddlemakers had learned. In materials, only the best is good enough, and in styling, simplicity has its own elegance For more information, visit: https://king-ranch.com/

Bus departs from the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Hotel at 9 a.m., March 25.

Contact Judy Clements, 816-464-5759 by March 10 to reserve your seat!

We begin this presentation with two herd sire prospects of a mating that is sure to demand undivided attention! Their sire is the renowned CCC WC Resource 417 P that went through their 2015 Bull Sale at $44,000 for ½ interest and ½ possession! The excitement has only increased since that day and will again pulse forward when you observe this set of sons. Why shouldn’t they be great when you see that their dam is the tremendous donor JWK Clarice J139, without doubt one of the breed’s great ones!

Selling 2/3 interest and full possession in both herd sire prospects.

The influence of LT Ledger and JWK Clarice J139 certainly needs no introduction to Charolais breeders worldwide, but the dam of these two herd sires will also soon take her place as another of the power donors of our breed. Produced by Three Trees Ranch and sold by them as a weaned calf, this female languished for years before Derry & Chris saved her from obscurity and multiplied her genetic potential. You will see that in these two sons and in the fall 2015 older sons that also sell, check out one of them on a following page. This may be some of the best sons of Ledger ever produced!

Another Ledger and another great one! This bull has all the makings of becoming one of the really good bulls of the breed, maybe even “Legendary”! His dam’s genetic plasma is some of the most sought after in the breed. A full brother demanded $20,000 in last year’s bull sale going to Bar J & JVS in Texas and Louisiana after posting the highest IMF score ever here at 5.35!

If you want a herd sire that will never run out of genetic strength for calving ease, EPDs, maternal power, name recognition, stop right now and take this stud home. His birth weight and BW EPD is enough, but you don’t need to stop there. His dam is one of the most promising young donors that has got everyone’s attention, including Grand Hills buying into a 1/3 interest. You have not heard the end of this great young bull or his dam.

Presented by Cody Cattle Company & Wright Charolais

He is named Monumental for a reason! He weaned off 140 lbs. heavier than the next heaviest bull in his contemporary group to ratio 125 in a pretty powerful set of bulls to boot! You won’t find many herd sire prospects that have a low 82 lb. birth weight and then pound the scales down to a 937 lb. adjusted weaning weight! Study the body, the balance and the EPDs that he brings to the table. And his sire is the hottest bull of the breed today. Who says you can’t have it all?

His sire continues on his path towards greatness. Benelli topped the 2013 Bull Sale when ½ interest and ½ possession sold for $50,000, after he was the lead bull in their Denver Grand Pen of Three. Last year Benelli sired the top selling WC Milestone at $125,000, a bull that was the lead bull in their 2016 Denver Grand Pen of Three Bulls.

Now turn your attention to the dam of this Benelli son, she had a son in last year’s Bull Sale that sold for $20,000 to Schmidt Catttle Co. in Nebraska, now this son, so she in heading into the embryo production plan. A pedigree loaded up with maternal strength.

Sometimes in a poker game when you keep getting the good cards, you want to “Up The Ante” and this is the hand to do that with. His sire WC Up The Limit has certainly been making it happen around Wright Charolais. His last two weaning age daughters that sold set the bar high with prices of $20,000 and $37,000! This bull has the WOW factor in every department; low birth, high performance, the look, the power, he can be that “herd changer” type. His dam, another Clarice J139 daughter produced her first calf to a $10,000 price at auction selling to Clift Charolais in Washington. Don’t overlook this one.

Selling 2/3 interest and full possession.

If you don’t like these Rushmore sons by now, you’re just not trying.

With his low birth weight of 74 lbs. and then blowing on to an almost 800 lbs. weaning makes this a wise investment. This bull comes out of the solid Lace Maker cow family and combines the best of Rushmore, Long Distance and Rocketfuel with that proven cow family we have come to trust. The dam of this bull produced a $10,500 weaning age Ledger daughter in our 2014 sale.

This herd sire prospect comes from a long line of Cody Cattle Company females with a granddam sired by one of the earlier Rushmore daughters. The sire of this bull is WC Paramount 4120 P ET that sold for $31,000, ½ interest and ½ possession to Broberg Charolais in Nebraska and he was another Ledger out of JWK Clarice J139. His full sister topped the 2014 WC Female Sale when ½ interest sold for $25,000! You can’t hardly ask for a bigger spread between his 75 lbs. birth weight and his 852 lbs. weaning weight.

It is the pleasure of Wright Charolais to present to you the opportunity of a lifetime with this offering! WC Executive 6211 P is a maternal brother to WC Milestone 5223 P that sold for $125,000 ½ interest and ½ possession, in last year’s Wright Charolais Bull Sale. Milestone was sired by WC Benelli, Executive is sired by Rushmore. WC Executive 6211 has a lower birth weight and almost the same weaning weight and both had identical weaning weight ratios of 114. This bull has true “heifer bull” potential with his 78 lb. birthweight, his 10.8 Calving Ease EPD and his -2.4 BW EPD. Not much guess work here. Don’t you need a top Executive to run your company?

Selling ½ interest and buyer’s choice of spring or fall possession.

Extended-Release Injectable Parasiticide 5% Sterile Solution NADA 141-327, Approved by FDA for subcutaneous injection For the Treatment and Control of Internal and External Parasites of Cattle on Pasture with Persistent Effectiveness CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

INDICATIONS FOR USE LONGRANGE, when administered at the recommended dose volume of 1 mL per 110 lb (50 kg) body weight, is effective in the treatment and control of 20 species and stages of internal and external parasites of cattle:

Gastrointestinal Roundworms Bunostomum phlebotomum – Adults and L4 Cooperia oncophora – Adults and L4 Cooperia punctata – Adults and L4 Cooperia surnabada – Adults and L4 Haemonchus placei – Adults Oesophagostomum radiatum – Adults Ostertagia lyrata – Adults Ostertagia ostertagi – Adults, L4, and inhibited L4 Trichostrongylus axei – Adults and L4 Trichostrongylus colubriformis – Adults Parasites Gastrointestinal Roundworms Bunostomum phlebotomum Cooperia oncophora Cooperia punctata Haemonchus placei Oesophagostomum radiatum Ostertagia lyrata Ostertagia ostertagi Trichostrongylus axei Lungworms Dictyocaulus viviparus

F E B R U A R Y 2017

Grubs Hypoderma bovis

Mites Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis Durations of Persistent Effectiveness 150 days 100 days 100 days 120 days 120 days 120 days 120 days 100 days 150 days

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight).

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment.

This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows.

A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter.

Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species.

When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season.

Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios.

Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program.

TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin).

Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose.

Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves.

Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.

Lungworms Dictyocaulus viviparus – Adults

THE WEIGHT GAIN IS REAL. Go ahead, blink.

A deworming with LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) can help keep parasites from eating into your profits.

If you used a conventional dewormer like CYDECTIN® (moxidectin), SAFE-GUARD® (fenbendazole) or in combination, your cattle are probably already reinfected with parasites. That’s because conventional dewormers only last 14 to 42 days and SAFE-GUARD has no persistent effect. Only LONGRANGE delivers up to 150 days of parasite control in a single treatment.1,2 When you look at the benefits of season-long parasite control with LONGRANGE – you’ll see you have a lot to gain.

Use LONGRANGE on your cow/calf operation and see the difference for yourself.

40 LBS

Over calves treated with CYDECTIN + SAFE-GUARD.

*Results varied between 13 and 40 lbs. for heifers and steers, respectively, over 104 days.

continued from page 20 great to offer advice, answer questions, and send customers our way when they know something we have might serve the customer better.”

While the couple has marketed a few females as guest consignors in the annual Vedvei sale, they primarily offer J & M Ranch genetics through the three state Charolais sales (Watertown, Rapid City, and Sioux Falls) and by private treaty. One of the couple’s most celebrated moments happened at the Black Hills Stock Show in 2015.

“A guy bought our 2014 bull, and he came back in 2015 just to find us and tell us that even though he didn’t need a new bull then, he was so happy with his purchase that he would be buying more from us,” Melanie said. “That was so exciting for us!”

Jerod echoed, “The moment we realized other people recognized our cattle as worth their investment made all the sacrifices worthwhile. We haven’t ‘made it’ yet, but we can see progress, and that’s everything as we try to get started.”

Given Jerod’s background in the commercial industry, the couple has seen great benefits to managing two herds. Jerod appreciates the Charolais breed’s ability to give a commercial herd identifiable coloring while boosting performance. They are currently working toward introducing Charolais bulls as clean-up after AI’ing.

“There is so much opportunity for Charolais cattle within the industry,” Jerod said. “We focus on producing cattle with low birthweights and high performance. I get to see the Charolaisinfluenced calves in our commercial herd performing at the top when it comes to all the desired terminal traits. At the same time, we’ve transferred purebred cows over to the commercial herd for one reason or another and see those mamas increase herd value and productivity annually. I think those perspectives help us market better to potential buyers.”

Melanie grew up in a family known for high quality cattle, so she doesn’t need any convincing when it comes to why Charolais cattle are relevant and needed in today’s industry. Her background allows her to play a major role in marketing the Olson’s Charolais cattle.

“My dad and grandpa are known for giving advice about ignoring trends and staying in the middle of the road,” Melanie said. “The advice is working for us so far. We’re dabbling and learning what works for us and where we best fit in the industry, but we work hard not to get crazy following trends that come and go with the wind. There is so much opportunity out there for Charolais cattle, especially with carcass data. We’re just touching the water of possibilities, and it’s exciting to be part of it all.”

Regardless of where they find their niche, the couple knows they are glad to be raising their children as part of the Charolais breed. The couple’s daughters—Khloe (4) and Kinzlee (2)—have already been bitten by the cattle bug and love their time outdoors with the cows.

“My dad once told me he only kept going some years because of us kids,” Jerod said. “I absolutely look forward to growing our business to include my siblings in some way, and I want our kids to know they have a place here, too.”

, and Ki Jerod, Melanie, Khloe

At A Glance Who: Jerod & Melanie Olson of J & M Ranch Where: Lake Preston, SD Children: Khloe (4); Kinzlee (2) Program Philosophy:

The Olsons work to produce Charolais cattle with low birthweights and high performance by avoiding fads. As they work to gain name recognition and find the best fit for their operation, they market Charolais cattle annually by private treaty and at the Black Hills Stock Show, Watertown Winter Farm Show, and Sioux Empire Farm Show.

In Their Words:

“There is so much opportunity for Charolais cattle within the industry. … I get to see the Charolais-influenced calves in our commercial herd performing at the top when it comes to all the desired terminal traits. At the same time, we’ve transferred purebred cows over to the commercial herd for one reason or another and see those mamas increase herd value and productivity annually.”
