However although I did like livestock very much, the punctual routine which goes with dairy cattle did not appeal to me. At a very early age I got a job selling farm seeds. Meeting people was the part of this business I enjoyed most. It was shortly after this that I met Janet, and we were married in 1963. When it came to finding a place to live, my love for farm life made us decide to buy a small farm near Woodstock, ON. On this farm we grew corn and it was not long until we had some livestock- mainly hogs. Janet and I both had a desire to specialize in something on the farm and it was due to Jerry Litton’s advertising that we started digging for more information on Charolais. In May 1965 we visited Gerry and Maurene Lalonde and frankly were quite impressed with the Charolais cattle we saw. After a summer of reading and discussing every article we could find, I went back in October and bought five 7/8 cows from Gerry and we had a start. We have had our time of bad luck, like many new breeders will get, but with the progeny from the fist five and a few more I bought, our herd slowly grew. In 1965 I gave up my job selling seed and got a job selling fertilizers and chemicals with Cyanamid out of one of their blending plants and this summer we had the offer to get into management of another plant, in another part of the province- it is due to this move that we have sold our farm near Woodstock and are now in the process of relocating ourselves and our herd. We now have two children: one girl Angela (4) and a boy Jeffrey (2) who of course is going to be a future Charolais breeder. He supplied us with the third “J” for our herd name Tripple J.

In the Charolais Newsletter April 1964 - Ivan Ohler wrote: My wife Vilda and I are not only real cattle enthusiasts, but are great horse lovers as well. My first interest in Charolais cattle was in 1954 while spending the winter in California where I saw some Charolais Angus cross steers. Then I visited the Ray Sence, Keith Mets and Hunt’s herds in California. These cattle impressed me immensly, but since I was down with my car, I was unable to take a bull back home. Then we met Harry Hargrave for the first time in 1957 and he again re-aroused our interest in Charolais cattle. My wife and I then decided to take my parents (who were in partnership with us in the cattle business at that time) on a tour of the top U.S. Charolais breeders. It was on this trip that we first met the late Ray Branum. Ray arrived only a few hous before we reache the Lucky 7 Ranch at McDermitt, Nevada, with his cattleliner rented to take back a mixed load of cows and bulls to his ranch In the spring of 1958 we brought back two loads of Charolais cows, heifers and bulls also from the Lucky 7 Ranch. They had been shipped there from the Ashfork Livestock Company. These were our first Charolais stock. Since then our enthusiasm has grown year by year. We have been breeding up a Charolais herd and also crossing our Angus cows with Charolais until today we have a herd of purebred and recorded Charolais numbering 173.

Celestial Charolais, Vilna, AB Charolais Banner Feb. 1995 Dreams of becoming a model in Calgary faded for Gloria Oughton when she and her husband Trace moved to Vilna 20 years ago to an old farmhouse with no running water or heat. With limited experience, but plenty of gumption in the first year, they started with 24 dairy cattle, a few pigs and some chickens. The dairy cows were bred to beef bulls, most of them Charolais. Their redfactor Holsteins resulted in tan calves that sold for a good price at the auction mart. Today the Oughtons have a beef herd of about 90, with purebred Charolais and a small commercial herd. They own about 300 acres and rent some pasture and hay land. Dave & Dianne Oulton *1982 PRO Charolais, Windsor, NS Dianne Oulton Sec Maritime Charolais Assn. 1983 Dave Oulton Pres.

Through A.I., using some King John semen in the early sixties and later Rainbow Sampson semen, they recognized the value of the Charolais breed and soon began to converse with breeders in Western Canada. They applied for permits for the first importation of Charolais from France but were unsuccessful that year, but were notifed that they would be on the list for the B/1966 importation.

Lloyd, 53, had been to Charolais sales, looking over the purebred situation, but, “we had all the work we needed with the regualar herd,” he said. Plus, they were seeding 2,000 acres of farmland. However, with the extra push from Darren, Bar 19 was poised to turn towards purebred Charolais. They did it almost overnight.

At the same time that Dale was improving his farm he was also trying to build up a viable cow herd. He had semen from all breeds in his tank, but by 1962 he had decided that Charolais was the breed for him. That year he bought 30 cows bred Charolais; today he has 100 cows in his commercial herd, as well as 100 purebreds.
Patton Charolais Farm, Shelburne, ON children: Chester, Lynne, Lynda, Barbara (+married daughter ____ Campbell) * Charolais Honor Roll (2004) - Lynne & Chester Patton Charolais Banner April 1975 One family that started about as early as anyone in their part of the country was the Pattons at Shelburne, Ont. The same thing that started them in Charolais way back when holds their interest to this day. In 1957 they bred two cows A.I to Charolais and got two bull calves. These first two steers went into the feedlot with the others and they were so impressed with their performance that in 1958 everything was bred Charolais. Ted and May Patton have been on this farm for 40 years. Son Chester and daughter Lynne, Lynda and Barbara are at home while a married son, Lorne, and his wife Dianne and a married daughter and her husband, Jim Campbell, live on farms nearby
Patzer Charolais Farm, Ebenezer, SK Charolais Banner - May 1972 Our interest in Charolais began when A.I. was introduced in our area. After seing pictures of Charolais bulls and their offspring, we were impressed and convinced that these were an outstanding breed of cattle. In the spring of 1965 we bred all our commercial cows (Hereford and Shorthorn) A.I. to Charolais bulls and also bought a number of half and three-quarter blood Charolais heifers and cows. The following year’s calf crop proved outstanding both in size and growth. We didn’t hesitate to continue up-breeding our herd.

Perrin Ranching Co./ EL-O Charolais, Beechy, SK Ted Perrin CCA director 1976 - 1982 Charolais Banner - Jan. 1973 Ted Perrin, Pete Perrin’s nephew, who is in charge of the Charolais herd says “I guess you’d say we’ve been crossbreeding ever since we started.” Pete was with the Matador Community Pasture in 1930 when the U. of S. in Saskatoon ran the first scientific crossbreeding project. They used four different breeds of cows and would use one breed of bulls for two years, then switch and use another breed for two years. This way they had one set of straight breds and three crossbred sets of calves each year. When Pete bought the West Ranch the cows were mainly Herefords and in 1943 he started crossbreeding with Hereford and Angus bulls. In the late 40’s he tried Shorthorn bulls, but this cross couldn’t stand the severe winters so he dropped them. In the ealy 50’s he tried one Brahman bull but dropped him because he didn’t throw true to type, the cows milked so heavy that they came in skinny in the fall and couldn’t stand the cold winter. 1n 1963 when I was Foreman on the Matador, I took an A.I. course and in 1964 I came with Pete on this ranch. We’d read and talked about Charolais for a long time and in 1966 we got a freezer and bred 35 cows to Charolais bulls. We’d heard stories how Charolais wouldn’t rustle with the British breeds. This may or may not have been true with the early Brahman crosses, but we sure didn’t find that with ours. Our Char-cross cows ranged the furthest on the winter grazing pastures and were the last to come back to the buildings in the winter.

They sold the shop, bought a Land Rover, crated their camping gear and headed for Canada. They spent four months travelling across Canada and settled in Vancouver where John worked in the Swift’s Packing plant for 12 months. After a short stint in the cheese wholesaling business, John, Eileen and family ended up in the Okanagan where John got a job at Coldstream Meat Packers, which they eventually took over. In 1977 they sold the packing plant and purchased a farm in Innisfail. When they decided to buy purebred cattle, Charolais were the obvious choice.

I immediatlely started working for a farmer and continued working out till at 18 years of age, when wages dropped to fifteen dollars a month, I decided if I was going to work for nothing, I might as well do it for myself. I had accumulated a little machinery and a few horses in lieu of wages and in cooperation with my father managed to rent a half section. In 1948 I started in the purebred Polled Shorthorn business and now operate three sections of land with a little over 200 head of cattle. In 1956 I purchased the place two miles west of Central Butte, where we now reside. In 1958, Lily, who was a widow with two girls and I were married and have added a girl and a boy to our family. I have been a Polled Shorthorn breeder for twenty years and have been trying through the years to raise better gaining cattle. We have had some measure of success and in 1966 we had the second high gaining group of bulls at the Saskatoon Test Station. In the fall of 1967 we saw a few of the Charolais French imports and were thrilled with the gains they were making and decided we would like to work these exciting new genes. Consequently, we purchased some percentage cattle from here and there and now have about 40 breeding femals.

This area, about 30 miles northwest of Swift Current, is dryland farming country but borders ranch and mixed farming areas to the south, east and west. Darneth Charolias Farms got its start in 1965 when Ken had two of his cows in the local community pasture A.I.’d to Charolais bulls. The resulting crossbred calves from Angus dams really excited Ken. Although Ken couldn’t convince his Dad, a man who had bred Hereford cattle for many years, to share a Charolais bull with him, Ken struck out on his own and in 1967 purchased a John Rudiger bred bull. Ken laughs remembering his Dad’s first comment on seeing the bull, “you might as well have bought a damned old Holstein as that thing”. Ken experimented briefly with other new breeds as they were imported, but his feedlot convinced him that Charolais was the breed to be in. L.E.

ACA 1975, 1976,1977 dispersal Dec. 1985 * Charolais Honour Roll (2003) Charolais Banner - Jan. 1968 I was born and raised in the Stettler district and spent the earlier part of my life growing up on my fathers farm. We had a herd of cows that consisted of just about everything. We also bought and finished a number of steers throughout the year. As I look back I realize that this was very valuable experience to my operation now. In 1953 Dad and my odest brother Bill bought the Stettler Billards business in Stettler, so until 1958 I spent most of my time in the pool hall learing the art of playing pool. In 1958 I went into partnership with my brother Andy on the farm as I could see this was a more profitalbe occupation than playing pool. We slowly dispersed the cow herd and went into the feedlot business. In 1960 Sandra and I were married. Being good friends of the Rouse’s , we were gradually being brain washed on a white breed of cattle called Charolais. In 1961, after visiting a few herds, I purchased my first Charolais cows. In 1962 and 1963 we visited several big herds in the US, becoming more enthused all the time. Since then we have added many cows to the herd. We have had to cull very heavy as we only have a small amount of land and have to keep our herd small in number, so have had to strive for the best. Charolais cattle and Charolais people have been very good to us and it has been very gratifying to be a part of this exiting breed of cattle.

So when it comes to run his Charolais operation, Ben relies on the expertise of his young farm manager Garry Smith. Ben became interested in the breed after seeing a television program in the winter of 1976 which featured the Charolais breeding operation of Charwil Ranch at Pembroke. So in the spring of 1976 Ben started out to put together his herd of Charolais.
