edwell Charolais is backed by more than 30 years of performance
measurement. In 1978, the herd was put on the Iowa Beef
Improvement Association program. Carcass data, structural
correctness and soundness, disposition, and EPDs are used as
selected tools in producing our end product. We
participate in the Whole Herd Registration program with the AICA.

SAM EM780137 -
sired by Samacus 6131 Pld
Purchased in the 2010 Cardinal Charolais Bull Sale.
We have come full
circle with the purchase of this new sire.
Our
herd originally began with two Sam sons, and here we are
again with SAM, getting back to the performance side of the
business. Our goal with this bull is to breed more size into
our calves to increase those weaning weights and fill the
commercial cattleman's needs. SAM is thick, big boned, and larger framed. We're very excited about this young
sire!

EASE
The calving ease
sire we use on our heifers.
WYOMING WIND
One of our retired
herd sires was a son of LT Wyoming Wind 4020.
He produced many show quality females that we have retained
in
our herd as excellent foundation dams. Our WIND bull sired
the
2004 Reserve Champion Female in Louisville, and she later
went on to be ranked 3rd nationally as Show Female of the
Year.
The WIND females have wonderful dispositions as well.
