 (l-r) Merv, Joanne, Brittni & Jesse Nykoliation |
Located in the heart of cattle country about 20 miles NE of Virden, Manitoba is TRI-N Charolais. In 1984, Merv Nykoliation ventured out into the purebred Charolais business with the purchase of a few Charolais females. His original goal was to produce thick, beefy bulls to use on his large commercial herd.
TRI-N Charolais is a mixed cattle and grain operation. Currently we are calving out approximately 250 breeding females. The majority of our herd is commercial based. This lets us know exactly how our bulls are working as we have retained several to use on our commercial cows. We background and finish many our calves, so carcass quality and performance is a must. |
Over the years, we have learned that dead calves do not GROW and high birth weights mean a high vet bill. For these reasons we have stressed calving ease without sacrificing performance and maternal traits. Over the last several years, we have been producing RED FACTOR bulls to supply the ever increasing demand for tan Charolais cross calves. Test stations have played a key role for us. We have had many high gainers throughout the past. We have also used the show ring as a marketing tool in recent years as well. We are currently running a two time Grand Champion Bull at the Manitoba Livestock Expo as well as a Junior Champion Bull respectively. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We would love to talk to you. |
