The 12th Coolabunia Classic Charolais sale on 15 August at 11am at Coolabunia Saleyards will feature seven vendors selling 60 bulls.
Charnelle Charolais will offer 16 industry-focused Charolais bulls.
Their draft includes 12 polled bulls, two polled/scurred bulls and two horned. Seven of their polled bulls are homozygous polled, while two are red factor.
“All of our bulls have been full-parent, sire- or dam-verified,“ said Charnelle Charolais stud principal Graham Blanch.
“Most of our draft has been DNA-tested, 100K profiled and BPA-tested. All our bulls have tested PI negative.“
Mr Blanch said this year the progeny of two new bulls, Silverstream Padra and Pro-Char Diamondback, will debut.
“Our lot one bull by Silverstream Padra (Terminator) is our standout this year,“ he said. “Terminator is the complete package out of an exceptional Blackjack daughter that is destined for the donor group this year.
“Lot three (Thunder) is by pro-Char Diamondback and has already been used over several of our stud heifers. He is a very good prospect for use over heifers.
“Lot two (Top Gun) is another standout this year by our homebred Panama out of our number one cow C. Elegance 6.“

This year the Lee family’s draft of Diamond L Charolais & Charbrays is dominated by red factor polled bulls. A large portion of the draft is tested to be homozygous polled and BPA-free.
“Our current AI and ET programs are designed to breed polled soft red factor cattle, which is our stud’s future direction,“ said stud principal Greg Lee.
“Our bulls this year have had full access to oats in their preparation. Breeding and preparing bulls with the potential for longevity is an important consideration for our stud.“

Clearview Charolais is a family-run operation that began in 2020 with the goal of producing a herd of quiet, functional,
fertile calves with plenty of shape and thickness.
These qualities are shown in our founding females that originated from mainly Trevlac and some Palgrove bloodlines.
Through the addition of our herd sire, Brendale Ridley, who was Reserve Calf champion at BEEF 2021 and AI sires, Clearview was able to further strengthen its genetics.
At Beef2024 this year, Clearview Raine was awarded Champion Charolais Female and was in the top five in interbreed females. This was a major achievement as she was the first registered female under the Clearview prefix.
* The Coolabunia Classic Charolais bull sale is on 15 August at 11am at the Coolabunia Saleyards.
