Charoktu Meeting Directors and memLcrs of the nation’s fastest growing beef breed meet in Richmond June 9 and 10, marking the first time for a meeting of the American-International Chat olais Association in the Colonial East. A*n estimated 100 breeders of the great white Charolais from across the nation will join breeders in the Virginia-Caro lina area for the two-day meet ing. Attending from Rappahannock County will be J. M. O’Bannon of Woodville and A. Y. Stokes of Sperryville. Business sessions will be held in the John Marshall Hotel in downtown Richmond. Introduced to the North American continent in the early 1930’s with shipments totaling 37 animals, Charolais now is the fourth largest beef breed in the U. S. Until recently, all of the 250,000 registered and recorded Charolais in the U. S. have evolved from those original shipments. Recent cooperative rigid quarantine programs between the U. S. and Canada have permitted small numbers of pure French Charolais to arrive in this country direct from France and from disease-free islands in the Atlantic and Caribbean areas.
