White Cap CharolaisThe Howe Family operates a mixed farming operation under the herdnames White Cap Charolais and Howe Red Angus. The cowherd consists of 300 breeding females - which is a combination of purebred Charolais, Red Angus, and commercial cows. The farm includes 10 quarters of irrigation, which is irrigated by effluent water from the city of Moose Jaw. Since 1991 we have marketed our bulls in our own bull sale which is held annually on the farm on the first Wednesday in April. We are located 8 miles (13 km) south of Moose Jaw on highway #2 and 1 1/2 miles (2.5 km) east of Sukanen Ship Museum on the north side of the road.
White Cap Charolais is located southeast of Moose Jaw and consists of 100 mature breeding females. Our cowherd has been dedicated to a functional easy doing cow that has the ability to milk, look after herself, her calf and rebreed. Our sires are Polled bulls with reasonable birth weight and adequate growth. We market our bulls mainly as yearlings in our own our own bull sale in conjunction with our Red Angus program. We expect our bulls to go out and service a reasonable number of cows while retaining their fleshing ability. Structure, Growth, Calving ease best describe the qualities we demand in our cow herd. There are no excuses for open females, bad feet or poor disposition. "They work or they go. " |
