CHAROLAIS Association
The AICA is the official registry for Charolais and Charbray cattle in the United States. Charolais cattle were first brought to the U.S. in 1936. In 1957, the American Charolais Breeders Association and the International Charolais Breeders Association merged forming the present AICA. Membership in the AICA is obtainable when the applicant has ownership in at least one animal, and has paid the initial membership fee of $125. AICA annual dues are $100.

Female Enrollments
Female enrollments for 2024 are open January 1, 2024. Regardless of the program you choose, your active females should be enrolled. There are 2 enrollment programs: WHR – Each active female is enrolled at $16 until April 1. For the $16 you get the registration and transfer of the calf born in 2024. You will also get EPDs on unregistered calves with weight data in valid contemporary groups. The enrollment fee goes up after April 1. PPR – Each active female is enrolled, however there is no fee attached to the enrollment. You will pay the traditional registration and transfer fees as you register and transfer the calves, depending on the age of the calf. EPDs on unregistered calves is not part of the PPR program.
Animals Held in the System
If an animal is registered online and held in the system, you can transfer that animal at any time. If an animal was registered online, but wasn’t held in the system, it will not be able to be transferred online. You will need to fill out the back of the certificate that was mailed to you and send it back to the office to be transferred.

Effective January 1, 2024, all 100K DNA kits ordered through the office or submitted online will be billed to the breeder’s account at the time of kit requests. The same will apply to the add on tests for BPA and Horned/Polled. In making this change, we are hoping to increase the efficiency of the process and cut down on the requests for multiple kits ordered on animals. This change should also result in a more accurate expected count of samples arriving at the lab. If any corrections or changes on kit requests need to be made, please contact the AICA Registration Department before sample submission to the lab.

ZORC RANCH STAYS THE COURSE FOR ADDED VALUE ON SALE DAY
2024
by Linda Eck near Lemmon, the family ranch started in 1954. Today, Preston and his wife, Maria along with his dad and mom, Joe and Kathy Zorc, combine managing their terminal herd with a cropping operation that allows them to utilize crop stubble for the bulk of wintertime pasture. “We winter cattle on our farm ground,” said Zorc. “Sunflower, wheat and corn stubble provide an abundance of unlimited grazing after fall harvest.” Fresh water for the cows is also readily available thanks to Flat Creek. “We’re fortunate enough it comes right through our place and we can water off the creek and springs.” The family’s cow herd is “out grazing on the creek” until Feb. 15 and will start calving March 10 within a 70-day calving season. “Some people call that a
long calving window, but when you have a bull that can pack a good average daily gain on them, those later date calves blend right in with the rest.” The Zorcs purchase all their replacement females and, in the past few years, have moved to purchasing Angus heifers bred to the Charolais bull, LT Landmark. This year they have added 60 heifers to the herd, all bred to the extremely easy-calving bull. “We’ve actually had more success calving out these heifers bred to LT Landmark,” said Zorc as he remembered “pulling a lot of calves” in the past when buying heifers bred to various Angus bulls. “That just goes to show the amount of progress that has been made within the Charolais breed.” When buying bulls, Preston and his dad pay close attention to Expected

More Pounds. More Profit. Added pounds at weaning and more profit on sale day are being realized at Zorc Ranch, thanks to a strict breeding program that is as basic as black and white. But, while it may seem simple, the advantage the Zorc family holds is in staying true to the course. Maintaining a pasture full of Charolais bulls for use on their herd of 450 black Angus cows is their mainstay for success. “The big thing is we want to pack the pounds on our calves and that’s a good way to do it – with a Char bull,” said Preston Zorc, declaring truth to adage of the American International Charolais Association’s – More Pounds. More Profit. “Grandpa, dad, we’ve always used Charolais bulls.” Ranching in northwest South Dakota

Progeny Differences (EPDs) relevant to birthweight, average daily gain and weaning weight. They also prefer bulls that have “some good, long stretch”. Building a long-standing relationship with breeders is another key factor to success at the Zorc Ranch. They have been sourcing Charolais bulls from a trusted breeder for over 15 years. Cows summer on native grass pastures typical to the South Dakota prairie, with 10-12 acres required for every cow/calf pair. “This native grass packs a punch,” said Zorc, noting that cattle are rotated onto new grass after about 45 days. Starting around July 15, calves are provided creep feed until heading to the sale barn in midOctober. “We creep to get those extra pounds on the calf and take a little pressure off the pasture itself,” said Preston. “In a good, wet year you may not need it, but in a dry year it sure helps to supplement those calves.” The Zorcs use a basic creep feed with Rumensin added after about a month so calves don’t overeat. Overall, the ranch goal is a calf that’s going to have a good weight right off the cow. Calves are processed and vaccinated in the spring and fall. Branding, castration and implanting are done in May and calves also receive their first round of shots. The second round is given in the fall, 30 days prior to their projected sale date of Oct. 15. “We kinda pride ourselves in bringing in heavier weight cattle,” said Zorc. Calves are pulled right off the cow and sold in a special Charolais influence sale at Faith Livestock Auction in Faith, S.D. The heavier steers will weigh in at 690 to 700 pounds, with heifers around 640 to 650. Lighter weight calves will be in the 500- to 600-pound range. “We have always been fortunate to have a good group of buyers bidding on our calves,” said Zorc, noting that they have been selling at Faith since 2017. “With our Charolais, I think there’s more value in the take home pay than the price per pound, because they weigh more.” “Pounds pay, profit matters and that’s why we use Charolais bulls.”
BUILDING A LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH BREEDERS IS ANOTHER KEY FACTOR TO SUCCESS AT THE ZORC RANCH. THEY HAVE BEEN SOURCING CHAROLAIS BULLS FROM A TRUSTED BREEDER FOR OVER 15 YEARS.

JUNIOR V I E W P O I N T
GET TO KNOW YOUR DIRECTOR Lexi Huse, Area 4
or Chemical Plant. This career isn’t common in the agricultural field so I doubt it will lead me to a job in our industry, however, I plan to continue to raise Charolais Cattle throughout the rest of my lifetime.
H
Lexi Huse
Area 4 Director
2024
ello everyone, My name is Lexi Huse and I am currently serving as your AIJCA Junior Board Area 4 Director. I reside in Elm Mott, Texas where my family and I run a small operation of Registered Charolais and Crossbred cattle, which we mostly breed for show purposes. This year, I am currently a Junior at West High School in West, Texas.

What are your hobbies/activities? One of my favorite things to do is meet new people, anything that allows me to converse with others or make new friends is absolutely amazing. In addition to showing cattle, I also enjoy going to competitions with FFA and 4-H. Within these groups, I compete in livestock judging and public speaking. While I enjoy my agricultural hobbies, I also love to spend time with my friends and go dancing on Saturday nights! What do you want to accomplish with your time on the AIJCA Board? As a young Member of the AIJCA, I was never very aware of what was happening and the opportunities that it could bring me as an individual. My goal is to help both the current and new members of our association to find their place by getting involved, meeting new people and obtaining impactful experiences. I wish as a member that I would have had someone to show me the ropes and introduce me to new activities. Overall, I want to make our members feel welcome as well as set an example of how great our association is. I am very excited to work with our Junior Board to make incredible events for our members! What are your future plans? After Graduating high school I would like to further my education at Texas A&M where I plan to study Chemical Engineering. If possible I would like to work in a Refinery
What is one thing you would say to someone interested in joining the Charolais breed? If anyone is ever interested in joining the Charolais breed I would say do it. The people who make up our association are a different kind of people who are always willing to help you succeed and reach your fullest potential. Our association has impacted me as an individual allowing me to be a leader, a role model and a representative. It has taught me to be hardworking, unselfish, and to always lend a helping hand. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the Charolais breeders who inspired me and who can also inspire someone who is interested in joining our amazing association. Who inspired you to become a Junior Board Member? Every Junior National I have been to, I have always looked up to our board members. These individuals have set an example for members which encourages them to strive to be the best they can. I wanted to play a part in this mission. I want to be able to be a role model to others and encourage them to be involved even when they are discouraged. By setting this example I hope to inspire other members to be their best selves and to encourage others to be involved because the experiences you endure will last forever and impact you in positive ways. What is the best piece of advice that you have been given? “Strive to be the person that others look at and say I want to be her one day” My mother had always told this to me from a very young age and it has stuck with me ever since, encouraging me to be the best person that I can be. This has been beneficial because it allows me to strive to always excel and leave a positive impact on others. Whatever you might be doing, someone is always watching, so if you continue to set an example it will not only make you a better person, but it will also influence the person who is watching you. A good role never goes unnoticed. CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

What is one way that we can continue advocating for the agricultural industry? We can advocate for the agricultural industry by simply expressing what we do and why we do it. In this generation, Social Media is huge which can allow us to give an insight to others who are not familiar with the concept. The view we set for this industry should show what it is really like to raise cattle and show that the misconceptions of our industry is not what it seems. Through this communication, we will be able to broaden others’ knowledge of agriculture.

Building a LEGACY. T
he Charolais breed has a 52 year history of building the breed’s future. Development of the AIJCF began in 1970 when breed leaders met and formulated the initial plans to provide leadership and scholarship opportunities for Charolais youth. These efforts lead to the AIJCF’s first leadership and scholarship programs being introduced at the 1973 National Junior Leadership Conference. Through the early 1980’s, AIJCF programs continued to expand with the support of Charolais breeders nationwide.
Competition
2024
1985 was a benchmark year for AIJCF when major contributions allowed for the program’s first endowed scholarships. Today, eight endowed scholarship funds form the foundation for the program.
MARCH
48
In 2023, AIJCF awarded 28 youth from 13 states more than $38,000 in scholarships. An additional $4,250 is awarded to 9 exhibitors at the Junior National Show and Leadership Conference. Selection criteria includes academic and leadership excellence. The Raymond Hicks Fund provides support for the Junior National Leadership Conference.
Become part of the breed’s legacy! • Your tax-deductible minimum donation of $20,000 to the American-International Junior Charolais Foundation will allow you to name a scholarship which will become endowed after a period of one year. • A minimum donation of $1,000 to the American-International Junior Charolais Foundation will allow the donor to name a scholarship to be awarded at the next Junior National. • Champion Show Scholarship Sponsorships Available! Please inquire.
Scholarships

ECONOMIST OFFERS BULLET-PROOFING TIPS to Help Keep Beef Operations Safe from FAILURE by Linda Eck Taking a responsive look at conditions in today’s cattle industry, professionals painted an optimistic picture for producers at the recent Southwest Missouri Beef Cattle Conference in Bolivar while also providing some insight on how to keep and increase profitability. Even with increased interest rates posing a risk, Joe Horner, a University of Missouri agricultural economics specialist, cited good reasons for optimism as cattle inventory decreases into 2025. As cattle inventory declines, he noted “a really tight” feeder calf supply means there’s less beef to meet demand. “On the supply side, at least, we’ve really set ourselves up for much better prices for the next couple of years,” said Horner. “We’re going to be in a period of the cattle cycle where there is money
to be made. If we can use some of that money to reinvest in particular parts of our operation that will give us risk management and resilience to get through the down parts of that cattle cycle, the droughts, and higher interest rates, is not a bad choice.” Horner’s Top 10 list of management concepts to help producers “bulletproof” their beef operation and stay productive included: . SEPARATE BULL PEN – Without a defined breeding season, “It’s very hard to manage in that type of environment. You’re managing an individual animal rather than the whole herd,” said Horner. He cited a remarkable variance in calf prices, with as much as a $250-$300 per head difference in a matched group of 30 calves all in the same weight group when compared to singles or uneven groups with a big spread in size and weight.

. FOLLOW VETS ADVICE – Vaccinations and bull breeding soundness exams. Horner stressed the use of a health protocol and getting as many calves on the ground as possible as important practices for success. “When you’re going to be selling calves for probably the highest you’ve ever sold calves in your life, you want every calf on the ground.” . ADEQUATE FACILITIES – “Do you have adequate cattle handling facilities to safely load or work cattle?” he asked the group, noting that the next couple of years may offer a good opportunity to spend some money on nicer and more efficient facilities. Referencing the amount of research that has been done in recent years on what works and what doesn’t, he noted that increased cash flow may provide the opportunity to invest in an updated

WE’RE GOING TO BE IN A PERIOD OF THE CATTLE CYCLE WHERE THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE. IF WE CAN USE SOME OF THAT MONEY TO REINVEST IN PARTICULAR PARTS OF OUR OPERATION THAT WILL GIVE US RISK MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE TO GET THROUGH THE DOWN PARTS OF THAT CATTLE CYCLE, THE DROUGHTS, AND HIGHER INTEREST RATES, IS NOT A BAD CHOICE.

any fields on a farm with producers able to specify desired yield. “If the rainfall index is above that, you don’t get paid; if it’s below, you get an indemnity payment,” said Horner. He also noted there are about 60,000 acres now covered in Missouri by this government-funded program, and “over the last 10 years, for the most part, most people on average who purchased the insurance got paid back more than the cost of premium.” Similarly, Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance is “like putting a floor on your feeder cattle. If you haven’t used LRP insurance before, I encourage everybody to learn how to use it. You can do as little as one animal, but learn how it works and do it.” . IRS & TAXES – The Internal Revenue Service is upgrading software and enforcement. As a risk management strategy, Horner suggested, “When you go talk to your accountant this year, if you have employees, ask your accountant, ‘Are we following the rules?’ whether it’s a 1099, a private contractor or an employee - W2.” He encouraged cattle producers to safeguard themselves by either using an accountant to do payroll, if necessary; and/or to ask them for the checklist of rules regarding private contractors.

. LIMING – “It’s not flashy and it doesn’t pay off fast,” said Horner. “But, especially in phosphorus, really acidic ground limits the production capacity of your whole farm. A good limed soil will pay off for years.” He recognized liming as “probably one of the best economic decisions you can make…if you need it. You’ll know if you need it when you soil test.” . NATIVE WARM SEASON GRASSES – “The value there is deep rooted, adaptive perennials can go after and find moisture even in the driest weather and tend to produce more,” said Horner in speaking of big bluestem, little bluestem, Indian grass, Eastern Gamma grasses and the like. “They tend to scrounge phosphorus and potash…and don’t require the same level of fertility to produce.” He also noted that backgrounding fall calves on these grasses can double their average daily gain when compared to summer fescue. Native grasses also provide a different period for making hay. He recommended having 25 percent of your farm in warm season grasses. . GRAZING SYSTEM – “We’ve learned a lot about grazing systems this last year,” said Horner. “It really helps in cattle handling, it really helps in the way we control rest periods on forages, it really helps on our quality, and…there are cost share dollars available that haven’t been in the past.” . PRF & LRP – Pastureland, Range and Forage (PRF) insurance can be purchased once a year (Dec. 1 deadline) for

handling system, “so that when you get into your 60s, 70s, or 80s you still like working cattle.” . FENCES – “Do you have an area with fences good enough to wean calves?” Horner asked. “Right now, we’re at a time where a really expensive feeder calf, if you take a death loss on that, it’s a major expense for a guy backgrounding cattle. He does not want to take a risk on death loss on those calves and they’re offering a premium to people who have nice, respiratory vaccinated calves that have been kept long enough to be weaned and they can just feed them.” He suggested that if in the next few years producers have some extra money to spend, an effective place to wean calves could prove to be a beneficial management tool. . HAY INVENTORY – “Do you carry a hay inventory of 150 percent of your needs?” Horner then noted, even though there is a cost to carrying extra hay, the threat of drought is always looming and suggested “a tin roof works best” for keeping extra bales on hand. “If you have some place to put hay under tin and keep it year after year after year, you have your own insurance policy, no matter what happens. When you have a good year, good rain, good fertilizer, putting in an extra 50 percent of what your normal needs are, and then just rotating through it as an ever-normal part of your business…is probably the best single risk management tool we can use for dry weather.” And, construction of a hay barn also works well against income taxes.

How long have you been in the Charolais breed and how did you get involved?
Elizabeth – I have been involved in the Charolais breed for the past three years. My dad got my sisters, and I involved in Charolais so that we weren’t showing against Hereford customers, and we heard great things about the junior program.
What other activities do you participate in?
Elizabeth – I’m involved in several programs that involve mostly ag programs but school programs as well. I am involved in the Junior Hereford Association for both the state of Nebraska and nationally. I’m also an active member in both our local 4-H and FFA clubs. I also am part of our SKILLS USA organization in school along with baseball and will be a part of our football team next year.
What is your favorite memory that you have made through Charolais cattle?
Elizabeth – I have several memories during our time with Charolais cattle. I have met some good friends and made some great memories with them during the junior nationals. I had an opportunity to play God Bless American on my bagpipes during the 2022 Grand Island Charolais Junior Nationals which is also a true highlight for me.
What is your cattle operation based on & how do you stay involved with the AIJCA?
Elizabeth – My family has a purebred cattle operation in Thedford, Nebraska. We have mostly Herefords and Angus however a small herd of Charolais as well. We have a bull sale every November and February and sell several females as well.
Who has been your role model in the Charolais breed?
Elizabeth –My biggest role models are my dad, my Grandpa Denny and my Grandpa Clair. My dad is the one who got my sisters, and I involved in the Charolais breed. I have learned a lot about ranching and showing cattle by owning and working on my heifers. It’s a lot of work, but that work seems to pay off when we get the opportunity to take them to the junior nationals. My Grandpa Denny is also a role model for me as he (and my Grandma Dixie) are the reason we are able to ranch in Nebraska. My Grandpa Clair is no longer with us, but I admire him for his Biblical morals and values that he lived his daily life by.
What are your future goals?
Elizabeth – I’m thirteen so my goals could change, however I currently want to be a farmer and firefighter pilot. One of the biggest problems we have in our remote area is wildfires. I want to be able to help put them out quickly. I also want to be a Lutheran pastor. *Interviewed by AIJCA Board

$160,000 Full Sister
HISTORIC’s physical presence is second to none! He offers extra dimension from every angle, yet is up-headed, attractive and smooth in his design. While his phenotype leaves you in awe, it’s his data that really puts him in a league of his own. HISTORIC ranks at the top of breed for WW, YW, SC, REA and TSI, while still maintaining a top 20% ranking for CE. He offers true curve bending genetics in a powerful package. His first semen to sell in Canada averaged $1,375 a unit and his full sister has created quite the buzz after half interest sold for $80,000 to Linskov’s LT Ranch, SD. HISTORIC is easily the most exciting Charolais bull to enter an A.I. stud in some time. Don’t miss your opportunity to create your own history, with HISTORIC!

DOING YOUR HOMEWORK MAKES BULL-BUYING EASY! Purchasing a bull is one of the most Common mistake: All too often, I consequential decisions that a cowsee commercial producers locked in calf operation can make. Bulls play an on purchasing bulls from the same outsized role in the long-term genetic breed year in and year out. When progress of our herds, especially when we fail to take advantage of breed females are retained. This means that complementarity and heterosis when we get the bull-buying process through crossbreeding, we’re right, it can have an enormous positive leaving money on the table through impact on a herd, both in the short lost performance. It is also worth term (a more productive calf crop) mentioning that selecting the ideal and the long term (generating longbreed for our crossbreeding program lived and productive daughters). Of should come before we even start course, the converse is also true: a the search for a bull, significantly poor bull purchase can derail a herd’s narrowing our “search space”. genetic progress for multiple years. It’s important that we use as much information as possible to mitigate the risk of this high-stakes decision. Luckily, we have a wide We can do most of the “Before we crack array of tools available work in sire selection open a bull sale for mitigating risk and catalog, it’s crucial before sale day.

vary based on a herd’s breeding goal. Additionally, selecting one trait can sometimes cause a negative change in another genetically correlated trait which can unfavorably affect overall profitability. Our best tool to address multi-trait selection is to use economic selection indexes. These indexes place economic weights on multiple EPDs based on how they contribute to a generalized breeding goal, all while accounting for genetic correlations. These indexes simplify the sire selection process by reporting expected progeny differences for profit based on a generalized breeding goal. Common mistake: While indexes are useful, they are best used when making an initial sort of bulls. Since they are combinations of multiple EPDs, animals can have similar index values while EPDs for individual traits are quite different. It’s important to check in on individual EPDs for traits that are important to our breeding objective like calving ease direct if we anticipate using the bull with heifers, or foot and leg EPDs if our herd needs to prioritize genetic progress there. I generally advise producers to use indexes to pick out the top 20% of bulls that are best aligned with their breeding goal, followed by using
individual EPDs for traits that need additional attention in our herd.
It’s game time
2024
Now that we’ve used tools to identify the bulls with genetic potential that best aligns with our herd’s breeding goals, we need to be certain that they’re able to deliver that potential to the herd. It is essential to phenotypically evaluate bulls in person for structural soundness. Bulls that are unable to travel adequately and breed cows can’t pass on the genetics that we are investing in. Structural soundness rarely improves with time and is one of the leading reasons that bulls are culled before returning on the investment that we’ve made in them. In addition to structural soundness, ensuring that bulls have had a thorough breeding soundness exam is also absolutely essential.
MARCH

Finally, after we’ve identified and evaluated our sire candidates but before the bidding starts it is important for us to do some backof-the-napkin math to map out a budget. Our ideal sire might check all the boxes, but if he’s going to cost $20,000, he probably isn’t in the budget for a commercial herd. Common mistake: All too often these price considerations are the #1 consideration, obscuring the other essential pieces of the selection process. Keeping in mind the longterm investment that a slightly more expensive bull might represent is important. Purchasing a bull is one of the most important decisions that a commercial operation makes. Multiple tools exist to mitigate risk and accelerate the effectiveness of our selection decisions. It’s important that we use all of the information that we have at our disposal. This allows us to do most of the heavy lifting before sale day and match genetic potential to our herd’s unique needs.
