Welcome

Cardinal Charolais is located in northeast Colorado, just a few miles off I-76, 100 miles east of Denver between Brush and Sterling. Owned by Pat Gebauer and Luan August, the ranch is a combina- tion of sand hill grass and sub-irrigated meadows next to Prewitt Reservoir. The numerous ponds and lake gives us the opportunity to raise Registered Charolais Cattle, enjoy the waterfowl and wild- life, and watch them flourish together.
The Cardinal Charolais cowherd of 400 head and all main herd sires carry a one iron brand and were born and raised in these harsh sand-hill conditions. Cardinal Charolais is committed to the commercial cattleman. To assist you in maximizing your profits, we provide functional, easy fleshing, performance and carcass tested bulls with unmatched depositions. We don't get caught up in chasing fads or the numbers game.
SELECT THE TRAITS YOU WANT IN YOUR HERD
We strongly believe in the genetic potential of our bulls, and we have kept up with the industry by genetically testing for carcass traits: Leptin, PMCH, IGF2 and CRH. Cardinal Charolais has been DNA testing for over 25 years and has incorporated the genetic DNA markers important to us into our herd. Choose the traits that are important to you and identify which animals carry the essential DNA genetics to promote those traits in your herd.
