Info

After reading many articles in U.S. magazines, we decided in 1958 to go on a tour inCanada and the U.S. to see some Charolais herds. Following this we purchased apurebred bull at Pincher Creek, and later on that fall, went to Idaho and purchased fivehead of percentage females. Two of these were to have calves to register in the spring, sowe joined the AICA. On January 16, 1959 we received a letter from John Ballachey, thatthere was to be an organizational meeting in Calgary on January 17 to form a CanadianAssociation which was good news. There was a mix-up in the address so that wereceived the letter the night before the meeting. So we were on our way in the wee hoursthe next morning. It was very encouraging to meet so many people all enthused about thesame thing, Charolais. It was a successful day indeed.In 1961 we purchased a portable scale and have kept our own records of our cattle thefirst two years. In 1963 we enrolled our entire herd in P.R.I . and have found that I referto these records frequently in selecting new animals for my breeding herd. I believe thatthe Charolais are a high performing breed and that we should select with performancerecords to keep their standards high.Lyle & Wendy Bignell *1997Kendall & Shirley BignellBuffalo Lake Charolais, Stettler, ABLyle Bignell CCA director 2005Charolais Banner July/Aug. 2005Lyle Bignell & family have been in Charolais since 1997 and they have 60 purebredfemales.
