Herd Sires & Semen

Our Laue Charolais Ranch Sires Are Built on Generations of Excellence

At Laue Charolais Ranch, we carefully select our herd sires to complement and supplement one another for generation after generation. Because our breeding program takes a long-term view, we have the luxury of sampling a variety of sire lines — from the popular to the obscure — and distilling them to suit both our needs and the needs of our customers.

Here are some examples from our current herd sire lineup. Semen from a specific sire is available where noted. To purchase semen, please contact us directly.

Current Black Sires

LCL Battalion 613D

Semen Available

CCA#: 713247

Sire: Black Storm 12A
Damsire: LCL Coaltown 303N

Battalion, along with his sons and daughters, are the pinnacle of our revolutionary Black Charolais breeding program. A standout at weaning, he represented the “Black Charolais Battalion” as our 2017 Denver Stock Show display bull. In production, he has excelled as a sire, with moderate birthweights and traditional Charolais performance. Sons have sold for up to $34,000 from our bullpen, and his daughters are collector’s items. Two sons and one grandson have already become Laue Ranch herdsires.

LCL Platoon 949G

CCA#: 789322

Sire: LCL Battalion 613D
Damsire: Tuff Enuff 947W

Our lead son of Battalion, Platoon is now seeing heavy service as the next generation replacement for his sire. The Platoon offspring excel at growth and style, and his first daughters in production are impressive. He features a double pedigree shot of the Celine 12T female, who was bred up from foundation to be Black, and was referred to by Lester Laue as “the million dollar cow.”

LCL Revelation 550C

CCA#: 365783

Sire: Redemption 47U
Damsire: LCL Coaltown 303N

Revelation is a first-generation Black Charolais herdsire — the result of a meticulously planned mating designed to produce a new sire line (indeed, you will find White Charolais legend Wyoming Wind up close in his pedigree). He was part of our 2016 Denver Stock Show “Be a Part of History” display of three Black Charolais bulls, and he is having a dramatic effect on our program. He crosses perfectly with our Black Storm and Black Ice sire lines, especially through Battalion and Black Frost. Two sons are in use, and his daughters are highly productive, having already produced two additional herdsires for us.

LCL Black Frost 8139F

CCA#: 785968

Sire: Black Ice 97X
Damsire: LCL Gus 100L

Black Frost has a reputation for moderate birthweights combined with rapid weaning growth. He was retained as the best representative of the Black Ice sire line, an early Black outcross import from Canada. Black Frost’s prolific dam produced a second herdsire for us, LCL Perfect Storm 557C, a Denver display bull. This cow family traces to our original importations of dark red Charolais in 1994.

CCA#: 844800

Sire: Shooter 709E
Damsire: LCL Revelation 550C

Black Powder is another first-generation Black Charolais herdsire, designed to create a seventh original sire line to complement our existing pedigrees. A phenotypically appealing bull, his first calves born in 2024 have already impressed us with their early flash. Watch for more from this high potential young prospect.

Shooter has been the perfect complement to our Diesel daughters. And bred to outcross females, he has left us with two highly regarded junior herdsires.

He also sires Black with our Black females, including the up-and-coming LCL Black Powder 1209J.

From a color standpoint, he is quite versatile, siring everything from dark reds on our red females to traditional white on the white cowherd.
