Dear Fellow Charolais Breeders:It is hard to believe that it has been over 25 years since we bought ourfirst purebred Charolais. The biggest discussion in our house over thepast few weeks has been “what do we call our sale”? This is not adispersal sale. We are not getting out of cattle or even out of theCharolais business, but we are cutting back. Jacqui has been asking meto cut back for several years now so that we are able to get away oncein awhile without having to call in all our family, friends and favours tocover the time away. We believe that time has arrived. We are offeringup some exceptional stock to add to or to start a purebred herd. Thefemales that we are offering are all very productive cows from theheart of our herd. We cull our females in the fall and only keep thosefemales that fit our program – good feet, good udders and femininelooking. We decided on this group of females to offer for sale becausewe feel they are the females that people are looking for. We are notholding back “the good ones”. We are keeping the older cows, as theyhave been good to us.Come check out the cattle, have something to eat and get caughtup on the Charolais news.Wayne & Jacqui MackMACK’S CHAROLAIS1690 11th Line West, RR 4, Campbellford, ON K0L 1L0705-653-3221 • cell 705-768-0057 •mack.wj@sympatico.caWelcome to Wayne and Jacqui’s Heart of the Herd Sale. This is not a dispersal sale butWayne is giving you an opportunity to buy the heart of the herd they started over 25years ago. They just need to cut down the workload, but they by no means are leavingthe Charolais business. Charolais have been good to the Macks and they have shownsuccessfully over the years across Ontario. They have also tested bulls at Douglas for yearsand have been involved in local sales with this spring’s bull sale being as goodas ever.The cows are very feminine, good uddered and good footed females that will go outand work anywhere. They are not pampered and will be coming to you in workingcondition. You will see what you are getting as they will not go home and melt away.With the price of grain, Wayne felt he would just bring them to you as they would be athis place. There are also some very fancy show prospect heifer calves and some bullcalves that will work at many levels.The cattle industry has many good years ahead. With the drought in the U.S., the herd building hasbeen postponed and even reversed. This will make calf production in North America even lower in the years ahead. This should begood for a long time.I also believe that the Charolais breed has a big role to play in the future production of beef in this country. Last fall we saw thequality Charcross calves again top markets right across the country. As a result this spring we saw the demand for Charolais bullsincrease and the prices being the highest in the 31 years we have been tabulating results.If you have ever thought about getting into the Charolais breed or expanding your existing operations, now is the time. The futurelooks very bright and here is an offering that doesn’t come along every day.Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can assist with your purchases. If you require further information give the Macks or us a calland we will try to answer any questions you may have.Sincerely,Helge & Candace BySale Manager:306.584.7937Helge’s Cell 306.536.4261Candace’s Cell 306.536.3374124 Shannon Road, Regina, SK S4S 5B1
