Charolais Contributions to a Beef on Dairy ProgramA breed of choice for dairy producers

Dr. Clint Rusk, Executive Vice President

C H A R O L A I S

V I E W P O I N T


In early May, I traveled to Lubbock, Texas to participate in a Beef x Dairy Symposium hosted by Dr. Dale Woerner and Dr. Brad Johnson at Texas Tech University. This three-day symposium started on May 10th with a bus tour of calf nurseries (also known as “calf ranches”) and cattle feedyards in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Our first stop on the tour was at Desert View Dairy located near Texico, New Mexico where the owners milk Holstein x Jersey cross cows and manage 35,000 calf hutches that make-up what they refer to as a “calf ranch”. The 35,000 hutches house Jersey x Limousin calves from the time they are a few days old until they are approximately 90 days-of-age. These Jersey x Limousin calves are part of a larger program known as “Beef on Dairy” where beef breeds are crossed on dairy breeds to produce feeder cattle who are heavier muscled, faster growing and more efficient (the ability to produce a pound of meat from fewer pounds of grain than other breeds) than their mothers who are predominantly from dairy genetics. Because

of their rapid growth from birth to harvest weight, their feed efficiency and their inherent muscling; Charolais and Charolais-influenced cattle provide a complimentary breed to cross with Holstein and Jersey cows and heifers who are known to produce a high degree of marbling, which is the intramuscular fat found within the muscle that gives meat its desirable flavor.

Jersey cattle are well known for having shorter gestation lengths and thus, lower birth weight calves. Holstein cattle are known to produce offspring who stay lean to a heavy weight, but who need the muscle shape and efficiency from Charolais-influenced genetics to produce feeder cattle with greater market value. At the end of the day, progressive dairy producers are breeding their highest indexing cows to sexed dairy semen to produce their own replacement heifers. These same breeders are now turning to beef breeds to cross on the majority of their dairy heifers and cows. According to the dairy producers who spoke at the symposium in Lubbock, they are relying on the breeds of beef cattle who compliment their dairy cows by providing those traits needed to produce feeder calves who are in high demand by cattle feeders and packers. Dairy producers are purchasing semen and beef bulls from breeds who are known to grow

rapidly to their ideal harvest weight, those breeds who produce muscular carcasses with more shape in the round than a typical dairy carcass, and those breeds who produce a high percentage of carcasses that grade Choice or higher with minimal percentages of Yield Grade 4s and 5s.

In the afternoon of May 10th, our tour buses drove back into West Texas where we visited several feedyards who are now feeding a high percentage of calves produced in the Beef on Dairy program. Although a small percentage of the cattle we looked at still showed visual evidence of their dairy genetics, most of the Beef on Dairy cattle looked very similar to feedlot cattle without dairy blood in their pedigree. Several of us on the bus trip commented that one pen of Jersey x Limousin or LimFlex cattle were as good as any pen of market cattle we saw all day. As I wrote in the February Journal, “Charolais and Charolais influenced cattle have a significant advantage in the feedyard.” This statement is also true for Charolais x Jersey and

Charolais x Holstein cattle in the feedyard. “First and foremost, these cattle are very efficient at converting feed to gain. This efficiency is partially derived from the Charolais advantage in muscularity and their ability to produce carcasses with large ribeyes per hundred weight. Charolais-influenced cattle tend to be leaner (less fat) at heavier market weights than some breeds.” Thus, Charolais-influenced cattle (including those crossed with dairy breeds) should produce a lower percentage of Yield Grade 4 and 5 carcasses, making them a breed of choice for dairy producers seeking a beef breed to cross on their dairy cows and heifers. As Charolais breeders, you are blessed to raise cattle who excel in numerous attributes and who cross well with a long list of other breeds, including dairy breeds!

As we approach the summer months, I look forward to meeting numerous Charolais enthusiasts at the 2022 AIJCA Junior National. Kaitlyn tells me we have a record number of entries which should result in a fun week in Grand Island, Nebraska. As you know, the future of the Charolais breed lies with our youth and I enjoy supporting them whenever I get a chance. Best of luck and safe travels to everyone headed to Char-Cation!

American-International

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.

CHAROLAIS CATTLE AT CLIFT LIVESTOCK

Kerry, Cora and Bridget

by Heather Smith Thomas

Kerry and Brigid Clift and their daughter Cora raise registered Charolais on their ranch near Ellensburg, Washington. “We are in the heart of good cattle country here in the Kittitas Valley. I grew up on a ranch near White Swan, Washington, just south of Yakima. My dad had a commercial herd in the 1970’s and 1980’s and used Charolais bulls; this made a great cross,” says Kerry.

“My grandfather, Harlond Clift, played professional baseball in the 1930’s and early 1940’s for the St. Louis Browns. After he retired from his baseball career, he purchased a ranch outside of Yakima (about 45 minutes south of Ellensburg) and then bought 1,500 head of Hereford cows. He had them shipped from Texas by railcars. In the 1930’s when he was playing baseball he made about $20,000 per year (which was a lot of money during the Depression) and his picture was on the Wheaties box in 1937 after he was in the All star Game. After baseball, he got into the cattle business, so my dad was raised on that ranch, and continued ranching. When I was growing up we had 200 head of commercial cows,” Kerry says.

“I grew up showing livestock—Suff olk sheep and cattle. After I fi nished college in 1996 (with a degree in Ag Econ and a minor in Animal Science from Washington State University), we started into purebred Charolais and gradually built a registered herd. I really enjoy the seedstock business—the genetic selection and the camaraderie of competition in the show ring. Hand-selected genetics based on the cow’s genetic predictability has been our focus for passing on consistent genetics to our customers.”

Kerry moved to Ellensburg in 1997 and met Brigid; she grew up on a ranch there. They got married in 1999. “I’ve always loved this area. It is great ranch country but sadly today it is changing, with many people moving in,” he says.

“We now run about 60 head of registered Charolais cows, and we show at the NILE in Billings, Montana and the National Western in Denver. “Our daughter Cora shows at a lot of jackpot regional shows and also does the Charolais Junior National. She raises and sells club calves,” he says.

Cora is very interested in cattle and loves breeding and showing them. “She has her own business—Cora’s Cattle Company—and has several cows of her own. She is 19 years old now and will be 20 in July.”

The cattle and farming started out as a hobby for Kerry

but ended up being a business. “I started in 4-H when I was a kid, then I was in FFA, and so was Brigid. Our daughter has also been in 4-H and it’s been a family deal. Our vacations are cattle oriented; we don’t go to Hawaii or Mexico or other exotic places. We go to cattle shows! This is the one thing you can do competitively as a family.”

When he started the purebred Charolais herd he didn’t have much land of his own. “We rented most of it. Then we purchased more land, and now run our cattle on part of our ground as well as some rented ground. We just keep building and hope to eventually have 100 top-quality registered cows,” Kerry says.

“We’ve been taking our time to grow, and have purchased some really good bulls in recent years. Nine years ago we bought a bull in Denver; he was in the Reserve Grand Pen of Three in the National Western. We concentrate on buying quality bulls and also do a lot of

AMERICAN-INTERNATIONALJUNIOR CHAROLAIS ASSOCIATION

J U N I O RDevon Benes, Vice President

Leaders of TomorrowA hardworking, driven membership

V I E W P O I N T

Hey everyone, my name is Devon Benes. I am currently serving as your AIJCA Vice

President and Area 2 representative, representing North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. I am the son of Mitch and Andrea Benes. I grew up in small town Valparaiso, Nebraska but currently live in Lincoln, Nebraska on the search for a Graphic Design job. I just graduated college from Northeast Community College with a major in Graphic Design. Currently I am working full time on the farm, while also doing some Graphic Design jobs on the side such as show banners.

Over the last few years, I have really stepped back and took a look at what the Charolais breed has to off er. We have the genetics for feedlot commercial cattle and show cattle. We have an amazing association and staff working all year long, but most importantly we have a junior association full of leaders that could change the

beef industry. Yes, the Charolais breed has the genetics, but that’s not what intrigues me, that’s not what keeps me hooked on Charolais cattle. What keeps me hooked on Charolais cattle are the youth involved in the association. I have met so many great people through my years of showing Charolais cattle and every year I am seeing some amazing kids step up and set great examples. I truly believe the youth below me can change the industry, because our breed has some of the most hardworking, driven kids with great manners like no other.

Every day that I put on my Charolais board clothes I tell myself I am going to be the best leader I can. I am going to teach these amazing kids everything I know and help guide them to be the best they can, but every time I take those clothes off I realize that’s not what happened at all. Th ose kids are teaching me everything they can, they are making me the best person I possibly can be, and I am extremely proud of every single Charolais Junior, no matter the age. I am extremely grateful for all of the opportunities the Charolais breed has given me so far and I

can’t wait to see what is coming in the next few years.

As you go to these shows throughout the year and you are preparing to compete against others, remember that this is all about the youth. Th ese shows are opportunities for kids like me to build up their relationships with others, learn to be leaders, and ultimately have a ton of fun. I am all for the fun aspect and if you don’t believe me then ask any of the junior board members. If it was me, I would love to spend weeks and weeks with the Charolais youth just having a blast because that’s what makes events like Junior Nationals so enjoyable for the kids.

Being on the AIJCA board has been a complete blessing and I am extremely thankful for the past few years. Th e Charolais board is truly the best thing I have done in the last few years of my life. Being on the board has pushed me to be the leader that I never knew I had

inside me and it can do the same for you. If you are even thinking about applying for the AIJCA board, then I say go for it. You have nothing to lose to just send in an application. If you are doubting yourself about if you will be good enough to be on the board, don’t. EVERYONE that is a part of the Charolais breed has what it takes to be on the board, you just might not know it. I would truly bet my whole life savings on the fact that any one of you could be amazing leaders, because I have seen it fi rsthand how amazing you guys are when you interact with each other at Junior Nationals.

If you or anyone you know is eligible and your area is up for election, but you want to know more about the junior board, give me a call, shoot me an email, or pull me aside at one of the national shows because I would love to spend some one on one time with you. Th ank you for the opportunities you guys have given me in the Charolais breed. I am truly proud of the Charolais youth, or what I like to call them the leaders of tomorrow!

“Every day that I put on my Charolais board clothes I tell myself I am going to be the best leader I can. I am going to teach these amazing kids everything I know…, but every time I take those clothes off I realize that’s not what happened at all. Those kids are teaching me

everything they can, they are making me the best person I possibly can be…”

Charolais cattle have a positive reputation of providing beef production systems the genetics that contribute to profi tability measured in our industry. The excellent early growth, strong feedlot performance and the carcass yield create demand at the feeding and packing segments of the beef business. Remaining conscious of the consumer demand for beef that drives profi t today, we focus on the genetic selection tools that users of the Charolais gene pool target to infl uence end-product merit.

Carcass Trait EPDs by DesignThe AICA National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures

generate a full suite of carcass trait EPDs. The models in the background for these EPDs are complex because a variety of data are contributing to the genetic predictions. The NCE procedures simultaneously combine carcass and ultrasound phenotypic datasets, pedigree, and genotypes. Genetic parameters allow the seamless integration of carcass and ultrasound contemporary groups to impact the resulting EPDs as well as available genomic and pedigree connections. In addition, contemporary weaning weight records are included for scanned and unscanned cattle to account for selection bias in the multi-trait carcass models.

Red meat yield model traits. The lean trait model generates the published EPDs for Carcass weight (CW) and Ribeye Area (REA). Phenotypic record contributions from contemporary groups in the AICA database for NCE include weaning weight, carcass weight, carcass ribeye area, ultrasound scan weight, and scan ribeye area.

Marbling model traits. The marbling model utilizes performance contemporary groups for weaning weight, carcass marbling, carcass fat, ultrasound intramuscular fat (IMF) scan, and ultrasound 12th-rib and rump fat scans.

Carcass and ultrasound traits are moderately to highly heritable (h2 range of .21 to .39) indicating that selection for these traits can be eff ective in a planned breeding program. The published carcass trait EPDs are the economically relevant expression of the traits in carcass

trait units: carcass weight EPD in pounds, marbling EPD in score units, fat thickness in inches and ribeye area in square inches. Genetic correlations between carcass traits and ultrasound indicator traits (rg =.70) are strong and provide the genetic framework to make the NCE models work. Detailed genetic parameters (trait heritability and genetic correlation references) are found at: https://charolaisusa.com/genetic-evaluation.php

“Filling in the Boxes” of Carcass EPDs and TSI

Awareness of the carcass models that frame the carcass trait EPDs released from each AICA NCE update, helps answer many breeder questions. Parents of carcass harvest data and ultrasound data receive the carcass trait EPDs. Genotyped animals through the AICA system receive carcass trait EPDs. Animals with ultrasound scan results from proper contemporary scan groups that pass NCE edits will also have carcass trait EPDs. With the availability of genomic testing, breeders can capitalize on early predictions for carcass merit. That does not take away from the value of contemporary scan data on nonparent bulls and heifers meeting age window criteria.

The carcass EPDs contribute to the TSI values. If no TSI is present on an animal, the fi rst place to study is the absence of carcass trait EPDs. In the index calculations, EPDs for carcass weight, ribeye area, and external fat thickness are incorporated to address genetic merit for yield grade. The Marbling EPD is also part of the TSI component traits for a quality grade adjustment. Below is a review of all EPDs included in TSI:

End-Product Genetic Improvement TodayThe AICA membership has a long history of valuing

Charolais genetics in the feedlot and packing industry. From a genetic evaluation perspective, it is useful to draw upon the Charolais breed genetic trend. Genetic trend values, calculated as the average EPD by birth year, are reported for EPDs and the Terminal Sire Index. A complete table of genetic trend values can be found on the AICA website at:

https://charolaisusa.com/genetic-evaluation.phpBreed genetic trend is best displayed graphically. The

following illustration captures genetic change over time for carcass weight, ribeye area, and marbling.

Carcass Data Collection and ReportingUltrasound performance data is an indicator trait in

the carcass genetic prediction system. The actual harvest data is the “gold standard” in the carcass EPD model, and this is a good reminder for Charolais breeders to capture and report any available carcass harvest data. The

current resource of phenotypic records includes 12,030 carcass harvest measures and 80,778 ultrasound scans. Phenotypes have value.

Carcass records provided by breeders or commercial producers using AICA Charolais sires can be edited to include the needed NCE fi elds for data submission to the Association. The primary phenotypic input fi elds include:

membership in entering carcass records into the AICA database. Contact the Association for more details.

Genetic Improvement Moving ForwardThe Charolais breed has made impressive genetic

improvement using EPDs and the TSI index that provides the commercial industry genetic inputs driving their programs in a positive direction. The revelation and use of genomics allow for even more rapid progress, but also further drives home the need to continue to simultaneously build the database of carcass harvest records and ultrasound records on

seedstock. The reliable genetic predictions for carcass value and ultimately a positive consumer experience will further solidify Charolais as a component in genetic strategies moving forward.

Sixty Years of Charolais Cattle

CASTLEBERRY’S HILLTOP C CHAROLAIS

Peggy & Kirk Castleberry

Heather Smith Thomas

Kirk and Peggy Castleberry have been raising registered Charolais cattle on their ranch near Ninnekah, Oklahoma for many years. “Part of our place originally belonged to my grandfather. My dad bought it from his brothers and sisters, from my grandfather’s estate. Then he added another 160 acres, where we are living now,” Kirk says.

The farm has seen multiple generations, though Kirk’s dad and grandfather were more into farming than raising cattle. “They were corn and cotton sodbusters instead of cattle people. Most of my dad’s life farming was looking at the rear end of a mule! I was an only child, and born late in life to my parents. My dad was the youngest of his siblings, but it fell to his lot to take care of his parents as they got older.”

Kirk asked his dad at one time how in the world he decided to be a barber and his dad said he had two brothers and it was the Depression and they were actually able to make a living barbering. So, he went to barber college to become a barber.

“My dad was a barber with a few cows, and my mother was a schoolteacher. When I was 10 years old I came home from school one day to fi nd a little 8N Ford tractor sitting in the back yard! I said, ‘Dad, what are you going to do with that?’ He told me he was going back to barbering and that I was going to farm!” Kirk recalls. “We didn’t have a lot of farm ground—maybe 60 acres cultivated—and we were farming with that little tractor.” His dad also had a small herd of cattle.

In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s the Charolais Association was still very new and still headquartered in

Houston, Texas. “The Association was sending out reams of promotional material about the breed, and we were getting fl iers in our mailbox all the time. My dad saw these and became interested. Our cow herd up to that point was predominantly polled Hereford,” says Kirk.

“We had a neighbor who bought some big polled Hereford cattle in Colorado and brought them down here. We bought some of his bull calves. We had some big Hereford cows but they were only weaning 400 to 450-pound calves. We were looking to improve our weaning weights, so the Charolais were pretty interesting. They seemed really huge, at the time,” he says.

“Most people today have forgotten how small the cattle in this country were, back at that time. In the 1950’s and 1960’s there were a lot of 800 to 1000-pound mature cows. So, we started searching for some Charolais cattle to go look at. They were not very easy to fi nd, in 1962!”

The fi rst herd of Charolais he and his dad went to see was down by Ada, Oklahoma and owned by Mack Braly, “Mack was a corporate lawyer. The fi rst Charolais he’d ever seen was during his service in World War II in France. He managed to buy a herd in Texas somewhere; those cattle were probably descendants of the Mexican fullbloods. So, we went to his place and spent a day, and he showed us his cattle,” Kirk says.

“Mack was a great old guy and he drove us around his ranch and fed us lunch. He had just gotten Paul 10919 back from test so we got to see that bull when he was just a big yearling. When we drove out in the pasture to look at him I thought he was just a big yellow steer! He had a huge frame and he had a big impact on the

J U N E/J U L Y 2 0 2 2 45



early Charolais business in this country.”Mack was also instrumental in getting more of the

Full French purebreds into the U.S. “That was our introduction to the breed. We were more than sold on the cattle but a barber with a school teacher wife and a teenage kid couldn’t aff ord those kind of cattle!”

At that time, the Charolais were still rare, and bringing a lot of money. “We never forgot about those cattle, however, and later my dad saw an ad in one of our local publications saying there was a retired schoolteacher named CC Riddle, down near Roff , Oklahoma. He had some 3/8 Charolais cows he wanted to sell. That’s almost half-bloods, and that was about all we could fi nd. We went to look at those cows and had to go through an old barn to get into the lot where the cows were,” recalls Kirk.

“In that area of Oklahoma the wind is always blowing, and I was the last one through the barn door going into the cow lot. The door had nothing to put through the hasp on it, and I couldn’t see any way to keep that door closed; it was blowing and fl opping in the wind. That wasn’t a very good deal in a lot full of cows, so I just pulled an old broomweed up that was growing there by the door, and stuck it through the hasp to hold the door shut!” he says.

“We got out there and we were looking through the cows, and I mentioned to Mr. Riddle that I’d put a broomweed through that hasp but didn’t think it would last very long in that wind. He was so impressed at my ingenuity, you’d have thought I’d cured cancer! Anyway, he and Dad made a deal on those 3/8 cows and I told him that I’d like to buy a cow for myself, but I’d really like to have one that was a higher percentage—so it wouldn’t take so long to get to a purebred.” That was when a person could breed up to 31/32 Charolais and be able to

register them as purebreds.“Mr. Riddle told me he had one 7/8 cow that he

didn’t really want to sell right then, because she was bred to a purebred bull, which meant the calf would be 15/16th Charolais. If it was a heifer it would only be one generation away from purebred. I had a little bank account that I started after raising an orphan heifer calf on a bottle when I was about 5 years old. That old cow cost me my bank account plus two of my commercial cows! But I ended up with a Charolais cow! Her fi rst calf was a bull but I managed to sell him for what I had in the cow, so I still came out ok,” Kirk says.

This was his start in the Charolais business. The family herd was just commercial cows—mainly Hereford. “There was a father-son partnership, Harry and Danny Devers at Alvord, Texas that my dad got in touch with. He went down there to buy an old Charolais herd bull that they were no longer using. It was a more mature bull, and a purebred. My dad paid $1,500 for him, which was a lot of money at that time. In 1962 you could have bought 3 Hereford or Angus bulls for the price of that one!”

They bred their percentage cows to that bull. “We were the laughing stock of the community here, for paying that much for a bull. Before long, however, we started fi nding stray cows in our pasture—cows that we’d never seen before! A few days after a stray cow showed up, a neighbor might call and ask if we’d seen such-and-such cow. My dad fi nally started saying, yeah, we got her bred, so you can come and get her! That happened a number of times while we had that old bull,” Kirk says.

In 1962 Kirk started his freshman year of high school. Ninnekah, Oklahoma was one of the only schools in the state which required vocational ag as a required subject

Dear Charolais Breeders,

As you study the pages of this directory you will notice the large amount of quality cattle that are pro-duced here. MCBA members are hosting many successful sales on farm and online, in fact three of the breed’s Top 10 Female Sales and 3 of the Top 40 Bull Sales in the nation were held right here in our great state in 2021. Feel free to contact any Missouri Charolais breeder to discuss their operations and how you can acquire these breed leading genetics!

There are many opportunities throughout the year to participate in Charolais functions. The Ameri-can Royal is annually the breed’s largest National ROE Show. In October of 2022 the MCBA will be hosting the 54th National Charolais Show in Kansas City. At the American Royal in the fall of 2021 we hosted exhibitors from 18 states. Also during the American Royal the Royal Breeders Bull Classic had 30 Classic Club Members that represented 11 states participating. The Grand and Reserve Champion bulls were exhibited by Missouri breeders. In conjunction with American Royal the MCBA sponsors the Royal Collection Sale, this past fall it was the #3 highest averaging sale in the entire breed! If you would like to participate in the 2022 Royal Collection Sale, please contact Wes Chism, with JWC Mar-keting or David Hobbs at AICA. Since the amount of interest for the breed within the state is extremely strong, the Missouri State Fair in August annually host’s the largest Junior and Open Charolais shows in the nation at the state level.

The state of Missouri has historically been a leader in the production of Charolais genetics. On a national scale we currently rank #2 for Active Members, #4 for total Enrolled Registered Females and #4 for Junior Members. There are also nine Missouri breeders that rank in the Top 100 for Female Enrollments.

With each passing year more and more commercial cattlemen are realizing the value of our breed’s genetics and are utilizing them to make their operations more profitable. Fuel, fertilizer and other input cost have skyrocketed. The heterosis and pure performance our breed offers is unmatched and will help make ranches more efficient for years to come.

Sincerely,Chris PeusterMCBA President

Fountain; Kathy & Steve Curtis

We are honoring Fountain Charolais for their commitment to the Charolais Breed and the Missouri Charolais Breeders Association (MCBA).

In 1973, David and his father Wayne purchased two three-quarter blood Charolais females from the Empire Charolais Dis-persal. � e following year a purebred bull was purchased from ABC Ranch, Martinsburg, Missouri – Carl Ahrens. Carl then took David to shows like Denver, Louisville, the American Royal, any many others. Carl made a big impression on David, and they developed a strong friendship. In 2016, he nominated Carl as the MCBA Honoree and did the presentation. His next herd bull purchase was from Albert Phillips.

Showing in the early days of the Block & Bridle Show in Columbia, Missouri is where I remember meeting David for the � rst time. His pride for his cattle and Charolais was evident then. As years progressed, he served on the MCBA Board during the middle 1980’s. Around this time, the Autumn Invitational Sale was started at Palmyra, Missouri. David managed this MCBA sponsored sale for several years until Rex Ricketts took over and the sale was eventually moved to Eldon, Mis-souri.

I am not sure of the timing, but this could be when Linda came into David’s life. Linda started o� as his veterinarian, her background in commercial cattle blended perfectly with Fountain Charolais. Linda’s father had taught her the economic val-ue of heavier weaning weights. She already knew that Char-cross cows were consistently weaning the heavy calves. When daughter, Tara was born, she did not have much of a choice but to love cattle and especially Charolais. David told me about taking Tara to feed and placing her in a 5-gallon bucket, to keep her from getting in with the cows. Seeing Tara’s interest in the breed, David and Linda encouraged Tara to join the American-International Junior Cha-rolais Association (AIJCA). A� er her � rst AIJCA Junior National in Mississippi in 2003, they saw the opportunities the organization had to o� er.

Between David and Linda, they have put on and supported every AIJCA Junior National that Missouri has spon-sored over the years. David help set up and provide heifers for the 1990 � tting contest at the Junior National in Columbia. Linda became a Missouri Junior Advisor in 2009 and was honored as the AIJCA Junior Advisor Of-� e-Year in 2011, then in 2017 was honored as the AIJCA Junior National Show Dedicatee.

David was always promoting Charolais cattle in his area. Steve Curtis, Tiger County Charolais, Mexico, Missouri, credits David for getting him started in the Charolais business, 22 plus years ago. Steve admired the fact that David wanted him to see other herds besides his. � ey went to many ranches such as Rogers, Cobb, and Lindskov-� iel, looking at di� erent genetics.

It is by David’s encouragement that Steve’s son, Nick attended his � rst AIJCA Junior National in Hutchinson, Kansas in 2005. If they ever had a question, David would have the answer.

� is kind of dedication is why we are honored to present this award to Fountain Charolais, David, and Dr. Linda Hickam.

Why?n Market demand n Predictabilityn Increased weaning & yearling weightsn Easy calving n More live calvesn Adaptabilityn Value of Charolais-cross females

Breeding good cattle isn’t complicated. Cattle feeders give us the ultimate report card. According to Jared Wareham, Top Dollar Angus, “No other option offers the greatest terminal crossbreeding value from the ranch through the feeder like a really good set of smokes or buckskins that are at least 50% Angus or Red Angus.”

Use a registered Charolais bull and genetic verification through CharAdvantage to earn more premiums.

Calf scours are not inevitable. A strong prevention program is non-negotiable. Dependable scour prevention is essential for calf welfare, employee morale and business profi tability. The immune system’s response to vaccination is variable and unpredictable. That’s why giving preformed antibodies instead of relying on a vaccine to stimulate antibody production is so important. I’m all for removing uncertainties. So yes, I stand by this product. (And no, I’m not.)

AI. In recent years we started doing some embryo work.”The bulls from Clift Livestock are sold the 3rd week

of February, in Ellensburg. “We have partnered with a couple of Angus producers for the sale. We now do an online sale with SC Online Sales, that sale is the CharNation Online Sale, and it is usually the 3rd week in October. We also off er some embryos and semen in that sale, and also sell a few show heifers to kids. We sell some females privately but most of the bulls are sold in our February sale,” says Kerry.

Cora breeds her cows AI to club calf bulls to create smoky club calves. In 2015 and 2018 she had the Grand Champion Steer at the Ellensburg Fair with her steers. Ten years ago when Cora started showing at the local level there were only black cattle in the 4-H classes. She told her dad that she should be selling black ones because that’s what everyone was showing.

“I told her she didn’t need to do that, and should just be patient. At that time the smoky calves were winning at San Antonio and Houston, and I told her that here in the West we were just about 4 years behind the fad.” She just needed to make local people aware of the merits and qualities of the smoky calves.

“Every year, she’s shown smokies and then started winning. Before long, a lot of her friends in her 4-H club were raising smokies!”

Kerry enjoys the genetic aspect of the purebred business, and pays close attention to the genetics introduced into the herd. “The bulls we buy must be structurally correct to make show cattle, and also need to have a good temperament. With Cora working around the cattle as she grew up, I couldn’t have anything that didn’t have good temperament.” The customers appreciate how calm these cattle are; they are a lot easier to handle.

“We strive to have bulls with moderate birth weights

that are built correctly through the front end and shoulders so cows don’t have a hard time calving but the calves are fast growers from that point to produce high weaning weights. We like correctly built bulls that are good on their feet and legs so they can travel in rough country. We also select for genetic traits such as ribeye, scrotal circumference, marbling and milk. One of the biggest compliments we get from our customers is how calm our bulls are to be around,” Kerry says.

“We also enjoy the show end of it, especially the National Western and the NILE. Those are our two main shows, along with our Charolais regional show. Breeding these cattle is a fun project that keeps growing, and demand keeps growing for Charolais cattle, for commercial bulls, and the club calf breeding project that Cora started. We have a good market for show heifers, too,” he says.

Charolais has always been the main choice for a terminal cross on commercial cattle, especially on crossbred cows, using Charolais as a third breed to create the most heterosis—producing calves with better weaning weights and muscling. “A lot of people in our area run black cows and use Charolais bulls on them,” he says,

“Our herd calves in two groups. We try to time our early calving season to start about the time we get back from Denver the end of January and wrap up the calving in mid to late March. We need early calves to satisfy our bull buyers; they want bulls that have a little age on them when they are turned out with cows the fi rst time. The show cattle also need to be a little older than the average calf. This necessitates breeding the cows a little earlier than we might want to otherwise,” he says.

“We also have a fall-calving group for the bull buyers who want bulls a little older than yearlings. Those cows calve September-October. We can face challenging

weather in January-February; we sometimes get a lot of winter. We do have a barn for calving, and along the outside of the barn we have a feeder system. I don’t feed on the ground; I prefer to feed in a manger-type system. Inside the barn we have a creep panel where the calves can get in and be out of bad weather. It works well because the calves come in and lie around the clean, dry area where I store the feeder hay. It’s nice to have shelter and a dry area for the calves,” Kerry says.

“It’s always fun to start calving, and we’re also glad to end it. It’s always exciting to see the new calves, and the results of genetic improvement. I am very particular about the genetics and sometimes my wife says I am too picky! But I want to be able to sell a quality product, so being picky is a good thing,” he says. Satisfi ed customers generally come back for more.

“We also raise timothy hay for export to Japan, but farming is a sideline business for me. My wife and I also work fulltime. I am the business manager of the McGregor Company in Quincy and Ellensburg, which is a big fertilizer, seed and chemical company in the Pacifi c Northwest. Brigid is the regional archivist for the Washington State Archives here in Ellensburg. We both work fulltime; the cattle and hay growing are a sideline that we enjoy,” he says.

“The cattle are an overgrown hobby that became our passion. Brigid grew up here in Ellensburg showing cattle and pigs, and we’ve enjoyed showing cattle with our daughter. Cora sold a steer that she raised to Matt Lautner in Iowa. That steer was named Red Hawk and he went on to the Oklahoma Youth Expo show in late March, showing against 600 steers. He won his class and was also Reserve Crossbred Steer and 4th or 5th Overall Steer.”

Even though their location seems like a hindrance for a purebred business—so far from many of the shows and customers—they make it work. “When people from Illinois or back East purchase something from us online they wonder how they are going to get these animals. Our location is a challenge, but I know a lot of people who are hauling cattle all the time, hauling dairy cattle to the north of us, etc. There are many people coming through, and we can always arrange trucking for cattle. There are ways to get the cattle to our customers. With our online sales we off er free delivery just to help with that facet, and I line up the delivery—to help people get over that hurdle of buying cattle from out here,”

he says.Ellensburg is an agricultural community in the center

of the state. “This area is a huge exporter of timothy hay to China and Japan. We have about 10 export companies here in this valley. Ellensburg also has a popular rodeo and I am on the rodeo board and Executive Board Secretary. This is my 11th year on the volunteer board. Last year our rodeo was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. I traveled to Colorado Springs with our board to receive our award,” Kerry says.

“The fun part was that Cora was the 2020 Ellensburg Rodeo Queen, but due to COVID the 2020 rodeo didn’t happen—and she got to hold that position for another year. She got to experience being Rodeo Queen in 2021 and also travelled to Colorado Springs. So both of us represented the Ellensburg Rodeo in that ceremony! In the past my wife was on the Ellensburg Rodeo Hall of Fame board, for about 13 years, so we’ve had a lot to do with this rodeo. It’s in the Top Ten rodeos in the U.S. and we are fast approaching our 100th anniversary, which will be next year. We’ll have a big bash for that!”

Cora has always been involved with horses and rodeo as well as cattle. She qualifi ed several times in breakaway roping at the Ellensburg rodeo. “We have all of these expensive habits, but it’s been a lot of fun and very satisfying,” Kerry says.

“In the cattle industry, I especially enjoy the genetics. Through the years we’ve purchased some really good bulls, including the one 9 years ago at the National Western from the Suttles family in Illinois. His name was “All The Time”. We used him for a couple years then bought a bull from the M6 Ranch in Texas. His name was “The Force” and he was a full brother to Bells & Whistles. We kept a lot of daughters from him, then went back to the M6 Ranch and bought another bull, Fresh Whistle, just to off er some new genetics to the Northwest. The bloodlines from the M6 Ranch hadn’t hit here yet so we built our foundation on some of that blood,” Kerry says.

Then recently he purchased a couple bulls from the Cody Cattle Company in Kansas. “Two years ago we

bought Cheetah and showed him at the NILE last year where he was Grand Champion Bull. We also bought a bull from South Dakota from Brandon Bertsche out the National Champion female named Dottie. She was the prettiest female I’ve ever seen. I wanted a son from her,” he says.

“This area is a huge exporter of timothy hay to China and Japan. We have about 10 export companies here in this valley.


“We’ve spent a lot of money on some good bulls, to get the genetics we want. It’s been a fun ride and we enjoy meeting people throughout the U.S. We’ve made a lot of friends in the livestock industry, especially the Charolais industry. I am looking forward to Grand Island, Nebraska this year. Cora and I will be there. She only has two more years that she can be in the Junior National and I said I would drive her there this year. All the other years I’ve been so busy—it’s harvest time with the hay--that she’s gone with friends, and I’ve fl own in to be there, if I could. This year we are going to make it work, and we are excited about that,” he says.

Most of the bulls from Clift Livestock go to commercial operations with Angus-based cows, to create exceptionally good crossbred calves. “We sell a lot of bulls in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana and hope to expand our customer base farther east eventually. Our bull sale is a live auction that is online and people can bid on them from their home,” Kerry says.

The bull calves are weaned in August and go to a bull-development feedlot in Pasco, Washington (Beus Feedlot) that develops hundreds of bulls. “It’s a warmer area than Ellensburg and the bulls gain really well. Then we transport them to the sale at the Ellensburg Rodeo grounds but the sale is on video. We have TVs set up inside the old Western Village Sponsor Room,” he says.

“We want to supply the best cattle we can, for our customers. Visitors are always welcome at the ranch. Our website is www.cliftlivestock.net and we also have a Facebook page and Instagram under Clift Livestock that I keep updated with photos and things we are doing. Recently we started TikTok with Clift Livestock. We try to target all ages and interests and put a lot of fun things on there. We use social media and our website for advertisement and it’s worked very well. For our bull sale and female sale we do a podcast under Clift Livestock on

Spotify and the podcast talks about every lot being off ered. Cora and I go through the various lots and tell about each animal’s birth weight, EPDs and mother and grandmother. This gives the buyers a chance to have more background about each animal. We furnish as much information as we can. Throughout the year we post photos on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok so everyone can see our program. Then when sale time comes we do the podcasts so people can listen and hear about each animal.”

The podcasts have been fun. “When we get to talking about those animals it brings back memories of various shows, and also what those animals have done in our herd. When we talk

about the mother and the grandmother and the great-grandmother, people know there is genetic predictability. This year I ran out of time because I was traveling for work and a couple of bull buyers texted me to ask when the podcast would be coming out. That makes us realize people are listening to it,” he says.

“We try to reach out to anyone we can, to let them know our story and our brand, and what we are about. Our cattle carry the 7 half-box brand that I inherited from my dad who inherited it from my grandfather. Many people ask what it represents. The 7 is the number my grandfather wore when he played baseball for the St. Louis Browns in the 1930’s, and the half box represents home plate, fi rst base and third base. It’s an interesting brand that has a lot of meaning to our family,” Kerry says.

“The Charolais business has been fun because it’s something we do together as a family. We don’t have hired help; we do it all ourselves. It takes a lot of time, especially when we spend many hours on the road delivering bulls! My wife and I also work off the ranch and Cora is in college and working part time, so everyone is very busy!”

if you were a boy, and if you were a girl you had to take home economics. “And if you wanted to show any cattle in 1962, they had to be Hereford, Angus or Shorthorn. There were no classes for any other breeds. So, I managed to accumulate a few Shorthorns just to show, and actually had a pretty good show career with those. I had the state champion heifer in 1965,” he says.

By the late 1970’s, he and some other folks re-formed what had originally been the Oklahoma State Charolais Association. “I was president of that for 2 years. The last thing that I got them to do was create a Director position in the Association for Junior activities. My wife and I worked with that for at least 14 years—as a volunteer position. We made sure that kids had a chance to show Charolais cattle,” he says.

Looking back a bit, Kirk says that 1970 was a momentous year in his life. “That was the year I graduated from college one day, Peggy and I got married the next day, and I had to help load a truckload of watermelons before making the trip home. We leased an old farmhouse here that had some pasture with it. Dad and I formed a partnership and that was about the time we started looking for polled Charolais bulls. If you think Charolais were hard to fi nd, start trying to fi nd some polled ones!”

In France these were dual purpose cattle, used for draft and dairy as well as beef. The meat from these cattle was mainly in the form of veal or from older animals after their working life was fi nished. “When these cattle were fi rst brought to the U.S. the main thing breeders (in any breed) were trying to do was win feed tests. The Charolais were recording some great gains that were more than folks had ever heard of in the Hereford, Angus or Shorthorn breeds. When the French cattle started coming in, they were even better in rate of gain,” Kirk says.

The big-boned big cattle gained really well in feedlot

tests. “But coupled with the fact that the cows they were being bred to were small, this created the perfect storm for calving wrecks. I told my dad, when I came back home from college, that we had to make these cattle fi t the way commercial cattle were produced in the U.S. or this breed wasn’t going to survive. My solution was to start selecting for polled bulls that were long-necked, clean-fronted and more streamlined. That front end comes into this world fi rst! They needed to be streamlined but still have good tops and good rear ends.”

In 1972 they had two bulls that were working very well on their herd. “We may be the oldest polled breeders in the nation today who are still active, but that’s how we got to where we are now. We were trying to improve calving ease, and by 1975 we were beginning to have a customer base of folks who were willing to come back and buy bulls again, so we felt we might be on the right track,” he says.

A number of people felt that the cattle had become too big and that a little more moderation was needed. “We needed bulls that could put live calves on the ground that would still perform well,” Kirk explains.

Now about 85% of his bull customers are repeat customers. “We sell everything private treaty off the place. One reason we have repeat customers is that our bulls are forage developed. They come off their mamas and go to wheat pastures, and then bermudagrass for the summer. They are not developed in a feedlot and they are ready to go to work; they don’t ‘melt’ when put out with cows. I’ve found that the bulls that don’t eat grain last a lot longer; they are healthier and stay sound.”

At some point during the 1980’s he got two bulls that were grandsons of the old Ozark Grenadier bull. “We had a friend who had a predominantly Litton-based cow herd and we stopped by there one day and saw this bull calf. He was kind of long-eared and taller than anything else out there, and probably outweighed every other calf

his age by 150 pounds. They were making fun of him and he was kind of awkward-looking, so I said, ‘If you don’t like him, what would you take for him?’ We bought him and called him Paul Peppel Poll and he was a great sire producer,” Kirk says.

A few years later he bought Riverwood Lobo 811-T1 an Ozark Grenadier grandson on the cow side. “He was maybe the best female producer I ever had. Just off their mamas and grass, their calves would weigh 1150 to 1250 pounds at a year of age. Both those bulls sired good females, but the Lobo bull had tremendous females. About 2 years after he died, the EPDs had come along and his Milk EPD was a plus 22. The biggest mistake I ever made as a breeder was not saving a bunch of semen from that bull! I sure wish I had,” he says.

“We have good herd bulls today but they tend to be more one-trait specialists. We have two herd bulls that are in the top 1% of the breed in birth weight and calving ease. Then we have a Fargo son in the top 25% in weaning weight and top 15% in yearling weight. We have a Eatons Royal Dynasty son that’s in the top 25% milk. We have a Patriot bull that is in the top 35% in weaning and 30% yearling weights, and an EC Iron Man son that I named Donald Rump and he’s top 15% in birth weight, 35% in weaning weight and 30% milk. He’s the closest to having it all together.”

There are several things Kirk has done to try to stay in the business for 60 years. He says the most important thing is that a breeder works for the customers. It’s important to produce what they need. “The fi rst thing I try to get them to do is tell me about their cow herd. Then I try to fi t the bull to their needs, to improve the cows that they have. I have to become an advisor. Often these folks, especially the ones who only have 20 to 30 cows, work in town to support their farming habit, and they could care less about EPDs or growth curves, cow size, etc. They just want a bull that will add to their weaning weights and not cause them any problems,” Kirk

says.“I look at this as being my job, to help them select

what will work for them. I am a purebred breeder and I need to study these things so they don’t have to. The majority of what we select for in our purebred herd is for the commercial cattleman. We do sell some animals to other seedstock breeders, but that’s not my focus.” The early perception about Charolais cattle was the fear that you’d have to pull every calf, so he has spent his lifetime focused on having his entire herd calve on their own—and be able to say he has an easy-calving herd. This is what the commercial producer wants—the Charolais advantaged in growth and feed e� ciency but without calving problems.

There is a happy medium however, because if birth weight gets too small it’s harder to have a bigger calf at weaning. “If the birth weight on a bull averages less than 80 pounds he is probably an easy-calving bull, but it will start aff ecting weaning weights. If birthweights are less than 80 pounds, except on your heifers, you are probably just as well off with a Hereford or Angus bull. Birth weights between 80 and 90 pounds are usually fi ne and this is where you will really see the gains in weaning weights,” he says.

Shape of the calf is often just as important as birthweight. “Just because a calf weighed 83 pounds at birth does not necessarily mean he came any easier than an 88 pound calf. It’s partly a matter of the shape of that calf. One thing that I am concerned about in this industry right now is that we are getting some heavy-fronted bulls again. This is something I’ve been breeding away from, for 50 years! There is always a place for diversity, however, and the Charolais breed does have diversity now.” People can select what they want.

“This brings me to my next point, which is the fact that what happens in the show ring is usually best ignored. In the early 1980’s, Expectation 269 and Elevation 44 did more to change the perception of what the Charolais

breed could be. Those two bulls actually got us away from the calving ease stigma. They put live calves on the ground that were tremendous at growing, with all kinds of performance,” Kirk says.

“We just had to resist the urge to get them too big in frame, but if you could do that, they made some really nice cows. This is just my opinion, as a guy who has been in the business for 60 years,” he says.

“It’s been a great ride. I think that working good cattle on a good horse has always been close to heaven on earth, for me! We’ve raised quite a few Quarter Horses and they all go back to a son of Poco Bueno that a neighbor of mine had, called Trigger Dun. Later on, I got to buy one of the daughters of that old horse. She had a fi lly with her when I got her. That old mare was about 25 years old, but she had three more babies for me. All the horses that we use around here today go back to that old mare and her babies. They are predominantly Peppy San Badger or Doc Bar bred, and good cow horses. That’s what we use them for; they work for a living,” he says.

“Over the years in the Charolais business we’ve met some great people—from all over the world including England and Australia, and old Mexico. We’ve made lifelong friends, and raised two pretty good kids, and now have three granddaughters. The oldest granddaughter is our athlete. But she loves to come help Poppy and Nana work cows and fi sh. The middle granddaughter shows Charolais and Charolais Composite heifers and the youngest one is just 7 years old and shows mini Herefords—but we’ll get her out of that and into Charolais as soon as she is 9!”

He and Peggy slowly added to the size of the ranch over the years, and have done it all with Charolais cattle. “I’ve never seen any breed that couldn’t be improved on by crossing with Charolais. It makes a great cross. We just try to produce e� cient grass harvesters,” he says. The cross has tremendous hybrid vigor as well. The results will make the commercial producer money.

“And as long as I can keep him in business, he comes back and buys bulls from me!” Kirk says. Raising Charolais has been an interesting journey and he can’t think of anything else he would have wanted to do. In earlier years he had a little show string and took cattle to various shows.

“Back in those days if you had a show string out on the circuit you’d get invited to a lot of consignment sales. I was more interested in going to those sales than I was in trying to win at shows. When you go to a consignment sale and maybe have the top-selling lot or in the top end, you’ll wind up with some people coming to your place to look at cattle,” he explains. There is more exposure that does some good.

“When you go to a sale like that, you get to talk to people who are actually interested in buying cattle. It’s not like going to a show where you visit with a lot of people but they are not interested in spending money on cattle. It’s diff erent at a consignment sale. I can remember participating in some of the old Bluebonnet sales and doing really well. I could take my cattle down to Texas and they’d look like giants compared to the Texas cattle, but if I take them up to Kansas they’d look small! As you go farther north, the cattle are bigger, and that always fascinated me,” he says.

Back when they were taking bulls to consignment sales there was no internet. “We advertised with our show string,” Peggy says. “I was telling some kids about that at the Cattlemen’s Congress, and they just couldn’t imagine not having the internet! We met some great people, as we went around the country.”

Kirk says that if there’s anything he misses about showing its meeting the people. “We have survived, not only by the grace of God, but by continuing to keep up with the latest animal science techniques and also, listening to Mother Nature. We hope to have many more years in this Great White Breed ahead of us.”

N E W S N O T E SObituary

Carol, daughter of Oscar and Nettie (Nelson) Casper, was born December 19, 1940. She grew up on a farm south of Lake Preston and graduated from Lake Preston High School in 1958.

A week after her high school graduation, Carol married, Arnold Wienk, on June 1, 1958 at the Lake Preston Lutheran Church. That same year, they purchased

their first Charolais, and Arnold would often say, “In 1958, I got the two loves of my life.”

Together, Carol and Arnold established Wienk Charolais, and raised five daughters, Deb, Kim, Peggy, Jody, and Amy, on the farm where Arnold was born and raised.

For decades, Arnold and Carol hosted a bull sale on the farm, with friends and customers gathering to look over their Charolais cattle and spend time with the Wienk family. Attendees loved Carol’s potato salad and pumpkin bars, served alongside burgers cooked over an open fire.

The family’s Charolais business took Arnold and Carol around the world. Together, the couple visited Spain, France, England, Holland, Belgium, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia, and across the United States. They often took the girls along as they attended AICA events over the years.

Carol was passionate about promoting beef, and she was an active member of the SD Cattlemen’s Auxiliary, SD Beef Industry Council, American National CattleWomen, SD Charolais Association, and she was one of the founders of the Charolais Dees.

Arnold and Carol always had an open invitation for visitors at the farm, and Carol loved welcoming foreign exchange students, collegiate livestock judging teams, and countless guests to her home over the years.

As a member of the Lake Preston UCC, she was a Sunday school teacher and was involved in the church fellowship group.

Carol’s five children, 16 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandchildren would often find her in the kitchen or out in the garden. She loved to be surrounded by her peacocks and beautiful flowers. Arnold and Carol found joy in growing food together for the family, as well. Carol’s Christmas Charolais cut-out sugar cookies simply could not be beat, and her mouse ornaments gifted to each grandchild will be enjoyed for generations.

Carol and Arnold moved to Brookings in 2017, and they enjoyed attending SDSU basketball games together and spending time at the cabin surrounded by family at Lake Poinsett.

Grateful for having shared her life is her husband, Arnold; her daughters, Deb (Al) Vedvei, Lake Preston; Kim (Scott) Jensen, Lake Preston; Peggy (Dave) Nolz, Mitchell; Jody (Jeff) Eschenbaum, Lake Preston; Amy (Russ) Bailey, Custer; her grandchildren, Corrie, Stacie, Melanie, Danielle, Dannica, Amanda, Courtney, Kaley, Sterling, Ty, Calder, Stetson, Rhett, Rheann, and Rheo; her 23 great-grandchildren; her brother, David (Roxann) Casper; her twin sister, Caren (Roger) Hoyer; her in-laws, Gloria Wienk, Vince (Micky)


Wienk, Jerry Fyler, Susan (Ken) Everson, and Janet (John) Koller; and many nieces and nephews.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Nettie and Oscar Casper; her in-laws, LeRoy and Frances Wienk; her brothers, Richard Casper and Roger Casper; and her grandsons, Denton Jensen (passed in infancy), and Calder Eschenbaum.

Obituary

Donald Russell Mellott was born June 5, 1944, in Seymour, Indiana, and went to be with the Lord on May 20, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 77. Don was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Gloria (Bradshaw) Mellott.

Don is survived by his wife, Janet, whom he married on May 29, 1964; his children: Janette (Sam)

VanMeter, Angela Davis, Stephen (Michal) Mellott, and Christina (Kevin) Harris; his grandchildren: Sarah Davis, Bradley (Shelby) Davis, Dane VanMeter, Samantha (Chris) Erickson, Lilly Mellott, Madeline Mellott, Ella Harris, Olivia Harris, Emmi Harris, Luke Harris, and Leia Harris; great grandchildren: Kennedy Davis, Lincoln Davis, and Harper Davis; his sister, Sheryl (John) McGuire; mother-in-law, Wanda Nye, brother-in-law, Monte (Susan) Nye, and nieces.

Don graduated from Will Rogers High School in 1962 and earned honors as an Oklahoma high school all-state football player and high school All-American running back. He received a full, four-year football scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. In 2015, Don was inducted into the Will Rogers High School Hall of Fame.

Throughout his lifetime Don was a successful entrepreneur and businessman. Don has been a principal owner in five businesses. In 1988, he started Heater Specialists (HSI), an integrated single-source manufacturer of refinery equipment. In 1993, Don started Mohawk Field Services (MFSI) specializing in the erection, revamp, repair and installation of heaters, boilers, and other refinery equipment. Don’s experience and leadership grew HSI and MFSI to the industry leading companies they are today.

In 1978, Don and Janet started Fox Hollow Farms, a purebred Charolais seedstock operation. Fox Hollow has had many champion animals, including the 1986-87 Show Heifer of the Year, and the 43rd Role of Excellence sire. Don was the Charolais Superintendent at the Tulsa State Fair for many years. Fox Hollow continues to be a premier breeder of Charolais genetics.

Along with being a successful businessman and rancher, Don had a heart for service and philanthropy and gave to many ministries and individuals. He served as a deacon at Glad Tidings Assembly and Faith Assembly of God. He helped start and was a board member of New Life Christian Academy, a private school in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. He also served on the Peggs school board and was a founding Board Member of the Tulsa Dream Center.
