Charguy, that's awesome. My husband worked for M&M Charolais for over 25 years and we bought many heifers from them over the years and had a nice little herd of registered Charolais at one time. Now quite a few of our cows are high % Charolais, but we don't keep up with the purebreds and just breed them to club calf bulls. Getting an honest breeder to help you out is great, and they get the benefit of getting their bloodlines in the show ring. Good luck at the shows this fall!!
Freddy, sounds like you've lived the nightmare. I don't know how some people sleep at night. Glad you've found everyone isn't that crooked!
