“For most, Maurice needs no introduction,” said Curtis Ohlde, vice president of the
Kansas Charolais Association, “He can often be seen at Charolais events across the country,
and at shows you can find him in the aisles sitting on his chair talking with anyone walking
along by.”
Maurice was born and raised in Hays, Kan., where his father had been involved with
farming since he was a little boy. Maurice and his father started their own cattle operation
with commercial cows and a few purebred Herefords, Maurice said.
Maurice is a graduate from
Fort Hays State University with
a degree in Agricultural Science.
Since then he has gone on to be
involved in many organizations
across the state of Kansas and
within the Charolais breed.
With many accomplishments
such as, past president of the
Ellis Country Farm Bureau
Association, founder and past
president of the Ellis Country
Young Farmers Association,
and delegate from the Charolais
Breeders of Kansas to the
Kansas Livestock Association
Purebred Committee.
Maruice first got started
with the Charolais breed in
1961, when he purchased 10 three-fourths Charolais cows with one purebred heifer and
one purebred bull.
“The first purebred bull I purchased was a full French bull out of Canada,” Maurice said. “I
liked the muscling, performance and correctness of the French Charolais cattle.”
In the summer of 1961, Maurice exhibited four yearling heifers to the Ellis County Fair.
Just three years later, he traveled to the Kansas State Fair when exhibitors were allowed to
show Charolais cattle for the first time.
“I believe the reason they let Charolais cattle into the show was because Jerry Litton of
Litton Charolais out of Missouri,” Maurice said. Jerry had brought the Sam 951 bull down the
year before on display, and someone poured gray paint all over him.
“Breeds like Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn were the main breeds at that time and for
the Charolais breed to be introduced it was quite exciting,” Maurice said. At first, Maurice
said others would call Charolais “White Angus” and from a distance, many thought the cattle
were sheep. However, the muscling and performance of the breed impressed the exhibitors
and spectators, he said.
The Charolais breed began to take off after that first year and continued to prosper, he
said. As Maurice began to travel in the ‘70s and ‘80s to exhibit throughout the states at
shows like the American Royal, National Western, Fort Worth Stock Show and the Tulsa State
Fair, the number of Charolais cattle reached 400 head at each show. He said he remembered
an average for each class was around 33 head.
“Compared to Charolais shows today, back then the Charolais breed had outnumbered
the Shorthorns, however, probably came in second with Herefords,” Maurice said.
Maurice is a breeder who has helped make the Charolais breed so popular today, Curtis
said. In 2014, Maurice was recognized for his involvement within the breed, when the Kansas
State Fair honored the 50-year mark of exhibitors showing Charolais cattle. Maurice was
honored as one of the first four breeders to start the Charolais show.
Maurice has been an active member of the American International Charolais Association
By: Megan Johnson, AIJCA President
and within his state association since 1961. Maurice started as a director and eventually
served as vice-president and then president for the Kansas Charolais Association. Also he was
involved on AICA committees on a national level.
Maurice said he considers one of his proudest accomplishments owning “MR Acc Amour,”
the bull who broke the weaning weight record in the early ‘70s and is still the breed recordholder today. The bull sired out of “Alogo” who held the record for yearling weights at the
same time. Smokey Hill Charoalis Farm also holds two world records today through the
performance registry international with “MR Acc Amour Jr. and MR Miss Ali Baba.
Another great moment for Maurice was being invited and participating twice in the World
of Heifer Show and Sale.This event features the families of five half-sisters by world famous
sire.
As years have passed, with
his kids grown and grandchildren
starting to show, Maurice
continues to stay involved with
the Charolais breed. He travels
to many shows and events,
and he assists with the Kansas
juniors as they compete.
“The younger generations
must not let the breed lose
its identity, while many other
breeds have lost theirs over the
years,” Maurice said.
Within the time Maurice has
been involved with Charolais
Cattle, he has seen how the
industry and breed has changed
through the years.
“I hope the future
generations will only do better than the past in promoting the breed and helping others
understand what Charolais cattle can do for them,” Maurice said. “Improving the cattle
industry by holding to weaning weights in heifers and bulls through the performance record.”
Maurice and his wife, Mary, raised two boys, Mark and Mitch, who both were very active
junior members in the junior Charolais program. Even though both boys are grown, Mark and
Mitch are still heavily involved in the cattle industry.
Mitch is a ranch manager for a large Angus ranch in Colorado and started his own
business, Ag Consulting for Ponderosa Advisors, where he serves as director.
Mark is the manager for Proven Sire Services, headquartered at the family ranch in Hays.
Together, Maruice and Mark owns and operates Lazy H Ranch and Smokey Hill Charolais
Farm. Smokey Hill Charolais Farms has been a purebred breeder within the Charolais breed
for over 50 years now. Soon, the grandchildren will continue on the family tradition of
showing Charolais cattle, Maurice said.
Today, the ranch consist of 2,000 acres, with the cattle operation running more than 60
Charolais cows and 145 Angus cows. Maurice and Mark operate with artificial insemination
and embryo transplant and selling to purebred breeders across the North America and some
in foreign countries.
Smokey Hill Charolais Farms annual production sale is considered one of the top
averaging sales within Kansas, said Cutris. Smokey Hill Charolais is a cattle operation with a
great genetic program and the loyalty of the customers each year is because of the wonderful
hospitality and service Maurice and his family offer, Curtis said.
A man who is knowledgeable about the genetics, nutrition and marketing in the cattle
industry, Maurice will be remembered to many as a true pioneer who was instrumental in
the upbringing of the Charolais breed in Kansas and throughout the country. Though time has
passed and age has slowed Maurice down, he continues to stay involved in the Charolais
breed and cattle industry still today.

Herdsman of the Year
Justin Patrick,
Richmond, Mo.
( l to r) Miss Charolais USA Rachel
Bonacker, Justin Patrick, and Craig
Stalcup, Prescott, Iowa 46th National
Herdsmen of the Year.
When a lifestyle and a dream unite
Patrick named 47th National Herdsman of the Year
With lifelong roots in the cattle industry, the Missouri-native Justin Patrick might
be one of the newer faces in the Charolais industry, but certainly working to make
a big splash.
Growing up on his family’s Shorthorn cattle operation, Patrick got an early start
in the business in Warrensburg, Missouri, and one might say caught a passion that
soon turned into a lifelong career. When he was too old for the junior show circuit, his
family began transitioning their herd to Simmental bloodlines just a few short years
ahead of moving the herd towards more of a Charolais influence.
“My mom’s side of the family started with Shorthorn cattle nearly a five decades
ago, with a Hereford herd before that,” Patrick explained. “We found added
performance and functionality with Charloais genetics on our crossbred herd that we
didn’t have before and continued to build on that opportunity.”
While looking to fine tune his cattle work, and improve his genetic talents, Patrick
and wife Morgan landed themselves in Richmond, Missouri, working for Wright
Charolais. With two upcoming junior members, daughter Atley and son Adler, each
have their own smokey heifer to start building their own herd in preparation for their
future days in the showring.
“It’s been a little over 4 years ago when I started working with Chris Peuster and
Derry Wright and it was a great fit right away,” Patrick said. “Getting up and doing
what I’ve always wanted to do every day is an incredible experience. It makes it easy
to not look at this as a job, but a career. The late, late nights and early mornings can
be rigorous, but I love what I’m doing and that’s what’s really important.”
Helping build a functional herd of Charolais cattle, the Wright team finds success
with cattle that have a place stretching to each of the country. Whether in the western
corners of Washington, to the far east of Maine, or as far south as Florida, the success
of the Wright Charolais herd extends well beyond the showring. They’re sound heifers
that become great cows, he says.
After having the early opportunity to work with and for seasoned professionals
like Gregg Alsup and Greg and Pearl Walthall, Patrick gained real perspective on the
industry and had the ability of pursuing his purebred dreams and taking his career
to the next level.
“There’s been a boatload of people that have helped me along the way, but those
three individuals were pivotal in my early beginnings,” Patrick said. “Even though
I’d shown my whole life, they had a whole different perspective from the county and
state fairs that I was used to showing at. They helped me along, even at times they
didn’t have to.”
At the 47th National Charolais Show in Louisville, Kentucky, Patrick found
himself in the national spotlight as they announced him as the winner of the National
Herdsman of the Year award. An award that was a natural fit for his talent, but not
one that he’d had his eye one.
“It’s a huge honor and something you always try to see in your own work, but
not something you actually shoot for,” Patrick described. “It was extremely humbling
to have those that you work with and compete against to think enough of the job
that you’re doing to vote you for something like that.”
No stranger to the national limelight, Patrick is proud to have brought along the
National Champion Charolais bull, LT WC Templeton, crowned in Fort Worth, Texas
in 2013. In addition, he has shared the success of Wright Charolais in having the
Champion Pen of 3 Bulls for three years running, starting in 2012, at the National
Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado.
“Having helped get cattle there for others is great, but taking them to the top
from start to finish is a whole different ballgame,” Patrick described. “It’s what I’m
constantly reaching for and working toward.”
For this Missouri man, hard work and common sense has taken him a long way.
For upcoming junior members, he stresses the importance of getting involved and not
being afraid to get your hands dirty. Above all, worry only about what you’re doing
and less about what everyone else is doing.
“While the cattle industry is ever-changing, what we’re doing on a daily basis
really isn’t changing,” Patrick said. “We work every day to make sure we’re not
getting too far ahead of ourselves. The cattle market is in about as good of a place
as it’s ever been and the recognition of the value that Charolais bulls can bring to the
table in making functional females is putting an added edge on the market.”
