PROOF. Charolais-sired cattle fit within the guidelines of the National Beef Quality Audit.
Feedlots expect and receive higher average daily gains and more efficient feed conversions
from Charolais-sired calves These calves will produce optimum-sized carcasses with a
higher percentage of quality retail product and consistently grade Choice with Yield Grades
Is or 2s
QUALITY. Cattlemen can count on registered Charolais bulls to sire consistent, high-qual
ity calves that are unmistakably Charolais. The identifiable offwhite, yellow, chocolate or
smoky influence was seen in market-topping loads of weaned calves across the country in
the fail of 1996.
DEMAND. Published market reports and direct order buyers provide evidence Charolais
sired calves consistently top the market More pounds and a higher price paid per hundred
weight target more profit to the cow-calf producer.
PROFIT. Research by the Roman L. Hruska U.S Meat Animal Research Center and leading
universities has documented that Charolais bulls increase performance and profit. Cattlemen
who retain ownership on Charolais-sired calves put them in the feedlot sooner, realize heavier
and more efficient gains—resulting m earlier marketings and added profits
