Being a registered ¢harity. the Society musi fiLIfiI its clwitable dulles by benefiling lh¢ general publi¢. These principal
objectLVt5 art fulfilled by breed impwvem¢n4 education and ¢ons¢rvatton. Breed improvem¢ni by registration of births
and parentage. which are ihen genetically evaluated. leads to fflore efficient prime beef produaion. Efficient be¢f
productiort help5 maintain cost-effe¢iive beef sajes for the l)uyin8 public. Through ￿lstanCe in the or8anisation of farni
open days and supwting classes * ihe summer shows and winw primesiock shows. the 8enerdl public are given the
opportunity of being involved with prime beef cattle. li is k)th an eduealional and enjoyable experience. Th¢ third
bjective is ¢onseTvatiort of the Cbarolais breed. Although nol a major issue at the present time. complacency cannot b¢
led out. as historically several numen¢aily Fx)pular breeds have faced extinction. Thc trustees have had regard to the
Charity Commission's guidanee on public benefit.
The principal a¢tiviti¢s of the Society include the recording and transfer of owmcrship of regi*er¢d Charolais cattle. A
herd tKM)kof Charolais cattle registered in the United Kingdorn 15 maintain¢4 atKI from this r¢gister kchnical and 8enetic

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for tbe year eDded 31 Detember 21122
Reserves poliry
The trustees have examtned the ¢harity'$ requiTements for reserves in the light of the main risks io the organisation and
have agreed that the pwious policy of building up a substsntia] rc5crve when the agriculnjral iDdusty, and in particular
the beef industry, were enjoying better limes. is a stslid policyty w the Society through tim¢s of adversity. The twst¢es
have estsblished the level of reserves (thai is th¢)sc funds that are freely available) thai the ¢hariry ought io hav¢ and hav¢
also c￿nSIdered the level of *Jditional short-ttnn reserves that will also be needed to Sustsin operniions and subsidise ihe
members should there be epidemics. pandernics or other problem$ which diTe¢ily or indirectly affeci agriculture
and therefore re5trictin8 the YAKiethe5 ability to generate income. The rtservts have hlso acted as a buffer & times where
th¢ membership have t*en facing incr￿Ing ¢osts in the industy and will continue to &> so in the comin8 years.
Political and economic uncertainty including changes in ￿licIes. may well result in a reduchon of income from the
¢harity's charitable a¢tivities. Currently ihe chariry has approximately £2.9m in reserves which is readily accc5sible. The
remaining £386k is invested in •lmini51Mive propeny, plant al￿ machinery a[￿ intangible &ssets.
We b¢lieve thai it is pntdeni to hold reserves ¢quivalent to approxirn*ly 24 months expenditure. In calculating reserve5.
we have ex¢lud¢d from iolal fut)ds tA)th the tangible and intangible assets rotslling £386k which are in fjxed assets.
Therefo￿ the aciual level of r¢s¢rwes readily available for day to day expenditure amounts to approxirnately £2.9m, and
although this is in ex¢¢ss of the 24 months ¢xp¢ndiNre. the m￿let5 are aware of a possible economic slow down which
may affe¢t the l¢v¢l of res¢ryes and the income from the inveslment portfolio. This. together with an increase in
administT*ion expendiiwe, and an inueax in bre¢d improvement and breed pmmotional aclivitie4 will lead to
redu¢¢ion in th¢ l¢vel of reserves.
Pl•tt$ for th¢ future
Future developments in the r¢gistr*iOn and genetic improvement of Charolais cattle are continually being reviewed. The
So¢iety has plafts to re¢wit for 3 m¢mbers and c(Jmmercial Custo￿ facin8 role durin8 2023.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
As my second and fjnal year &$ Chairnan thaws to a close, I would fLrsily like to say it ha5 been an honour and
privilege to have had the chatKe to be Chairman of this truly remarkable cattle society. During my last V151t to
Ston¢leigh. L w&s studying the hO[￿urS tK>ard and was in awe of pr¢vious names on there. so rnany of whom have
shaped th¢ breed to where Èt is today and to have my name alongsid¢ them is truly hurnblin8.
As I write this repx)rt lambing is n¢aAy finish￿ and calving is 213 through but there is no $18n of thiing cattl¢ out io
gr&ss as it's one of the I￿¢St springs l ¢an remember. The past year has seen some real exts¢mes in farn)ing, some OC
those we hope never ￿ se¢ again. With fertil]s￿ at an ail-time r¢¢ord price lasi summer and feed barley at £31K)It
coupled with sorne re¢ord.br¢aking hot t¢rnperature5 in some areas of over 40°C ¢ombin¢d with a decline in su¢kl¢r
COW5 from uplarbd faTm5 Lt didn't lend itself to an easy 12months for farmer5 to budg¢t or plan for. Since the n¢w y¢ar
thing5 are definitely looking a lot brighier for livestock farn)er5 with fertilizer b*k £35011 from tsst spring. feed barley
is slowly dropping and the price of b¢¢f tOLKhhng the £51kg DW.
Society sale5 up and th)wn the county over the past 12 months have been ¢xceptÈonal with an incr¢ase of 23% more
bulls sold through society sales than the year previous. Thi5 j5 great new5 for the breed and our membeTS, and it clearly
shows the high demand and premium that Charolais sired suckled calve5 arc c¢jMma￿d1Trg in the siore market is filtering
back through to bull sales. What is even more pleasing al￿1 thc 23% rise in bull 5ale5 15 that in a dirnirlishing rnarket
place and the huge number of suckler eows going off from upland fa￿5 as previ￿$1Y mentioned. the breed is clearly
not only holding its own in the market place but. making huge inroads to take cu5tom¢r5 away from other breeds by
proving to the commercial farnier how a Charolais bull can 8lVt them thc best return on their investment and also
making their business more sustainable for ytar5 to come.
However, we rn￿t also be reajistic in that, if therc 15 a shrinking markct for bulls and even if we keep gaining a larger
market share, there is urhdoubtsbly 80in8 ty be a declining nurnber of ptyjigree ¢alves being rtgist¢rnl and therefore a
le55cnin8 of our rntmbership.
The figures for the past 5 years are:
Members
1524
1416
1349
1323
1298
1292
Registrntions
5822

These figures arc quite stark. and ihe court¢il of management are very awar¢ that if these figur¢5 continue declining in
this manner the society is goir)g io have to I￿)k long and hard ar how it can be sustainable for its members for years to
comc. This is mainly why we ￿0k the de¢ision io mak¢ th¢ role of CEO redundant within the society. The Couneil are
now in a pts51tion to look for a new employe¢ the fa¢e of the breed who is the first point of contact for the
rnembership. present at shows and sales and able io deal with members queries. Additionally. the incumbent will be
t&%ked with as51Sting the Coun¢il of Management and office team with tsking a number of promotional and breed
development matteTS fon¥ard ai a ¢osi that is jusiifiabl¢ to the wciety.
The Council of Management have made Dwo big de¢rsion$ over the pasi year, firstly io upd￿¢ and rn¢yiernis¢ the logo.
We need a logo that is digitally friendly and WOTks at any dimensiort from fingernail size w a large banner or poster.
Something thai works in a positive use (white background) and a revetsa] use (dark background) and something that
looks gth)d on promotional merchandise and 15 simple with clean lines. We choose to go down the road of evolution noi
revolution. l understtnd this isn't everyone'5 cup of tea. but as f8nneTS we don't like change. We believ¢ this delivers
all thes¢ ihings and hope given time many of you will think the same.
Secondly. we chose to be the breed in ihe UK io laun¢h ILRonlin< this is going to bring hug¢ knefits to our
rnembership with infonnali¢)n being live and in rtal time. Some of the ￿Van￿g¢S are=
-Re8iSter anima]s and immcdiately stt them on the database
-view peThding animals and see why they are pending i.e.. awaiting DNA etc.
-Allow memb¢rs to transfer animals to other members.
-users can download pedigrte certifi¢aies. Invoices. DNA xknowledgements and Breedplan documents
-submi¢ and view Breedplan weights & traits

I believe this 15 a vwy ¢x¢iting launch and puts us one step ahead of other brteds. We have also been able to have a
hand in the development of the plarfomi to the benefit of the Charolais brerf Rusrni desuves a loi of credit for creatin8
and shaping ihi5.
The younger generation is our and with(￿1 the youth we dtsn'l have a brted. The society h&s been very forNnate
to bt able to se¢ure a 3-year parthership wilh the livesiock fttd company Harbro to help to 8ain a wide exwsure of our
breed to the younger genernlion to help edu¢aie artd develop them. The tsperience of the Harbro team will be
invaluable to help drive the Charolw5 youth forward. l atn very excited to see where this parthership can tske the breed.
All in all, the society and the brttd have a lot to be p)sitivt abouL I beli¢v¢ we need to work more closely with our
¢ommercial cu5tomtr5 as withoui them we don'l ha￿ bull sales. Also ry to develop a Closer Tclatiorlship with retailers
and wholesalers to develop Chamlais as a brand, if we Can gain the key and facwal d*a io b*k up the benefi¢s, we
know thc Charolais Can brirtg to the focM4 ¢haith a viable, cath)n friendly. healthy pr¢mium proieio sour¢e, I believe this
ith turn will hclp OUT members to have an irt¢reased market share for years to come.
Where possible we sknuld ￿ to collaborate alongside ￿h¢r Ixeed 5LKietie5. if we ¢an wotk closer with ea¢h other to ty
and save on costs w th¢ same time &$ promoting the beef lTrd￿ty as a whok, this should be beneficial to everyone.
I would like to draw my final Chairm￿'S report to a close by thanking a few people who have helped not only my$¢lf
bui the sttiety over the ptst yetr.
Ru5mi for doing a sterling job In keepLII8 the offi¢¢ ru[￿1￿8 so smrKJthly alongside depury office manager Rebecca wh
is ably as5151¢d by Fiorx4 Mandy, Natasha & Charlotte, the work and commilrnent thry all sknw should be highly
¢omm¢nded.
The Council of Mana8ernen4 they have been exceptional duriDg my time as Chainnan. Their professiona]ism and
dedication through some difficult decisions been humbling and the member5 are fortun￿¢ io hav¢ them r¢pr¢s¢Dting
them.
Our PTtsiden¢ Gareth Roberts, who has been a $upub aMb￿adOr fw the breed. He h&5 trRen present at so m￿Y shows
artd saJe& hi5 wealth of kTh)wl¢dg¢ and exp¢Ti¢h¢e h&$ been a 8reat sUP￿rt throu8h04Jt my time as Chair.
My previous Vic¢ Chainnan Jeremy Pric¢, the comrniltDent and driv¢ ajong with his wealth of business ex￿rience was
a r¢al asset to IM)th the executive *am and the council.
Our hO[￿rnry Treasurer Graham Robinson. the dedi￿110￿, and hours that Graham puts into BCCS interests [5 nothing
short of excep¢iona]. I beli¢v¢ if the membetship had any idea about the time given up to ihe breed by Graham rnostly to
the dctrirnent of his owth busirtess, members would be skncked. He has been a massive supprt and help to me during
my time as Chaimian without them boih the past 2 years W￿ld have bccn impossible.
I would also like to take this chance to Say a few words aiK>ut my cuTheni Vice Chai￿an Andrew Selli¢k. Andrew is
one of the m05t 8enuine. hardworkin& dedicated and meti¢ulous wpl¢ I have met. kndrew has a huge skill set
whether that be on a professional or ¢artle breeding basis he has a wealth of talents and attribuies, these I believe will
make Andrew an outstanding Chaim)an.
I would also like to say a huge thank you to my wife Fiona and father Pctcr. for helping $0 much at home and also with
Ihc preparaiiort artd nLrtning of the shows attd sales. This h&$ allowed me the exEta time ￿ give for BCCS matter& I will
be for¢ver grnleful.
Lasi but no m¢¥¢s least I would like to thank all the rnetDber5 of the BCCS, you ail do so rnuch to PTomoie ¢he breed at
every opp(xwThity. It's been a pleasure meeting 50 many ofyou •nd making a lotof new friends. lh¢ Charolais breed

investment rA)rtfolio. The loss on the day-itrday artivities reduced to a little under £lk from a £72k surplus. During 2022
the BCCS hosted the World Chartslais consrcss. the Council of Mana8cmentde¢ided to finoncially supportthe host farnis.
Totsl cost of the coThvenlion to the BCCS w&$ £54,135. Sponsorship of £18.000 was nised giving a n¢t ¢osi to th¢ BCCS
of £36,135.
Publi¢ity ¢xp¢t)ses for the year were considerably higher than in the previous ycar at £99.232 ¢ompar¢d to £39.683 thi$

During 2022 the GB suckler herd continued its long-estsblished trcnd and corttract￿l by approaching 10%.
200,000 mws were slaughtered in October to December 2022 compared with I￿.0¢NI Jn the same period in 2021. While
li is right that the BCCS is continually looking at incrt45ing rnarkct Share, as I sthted in my ffporr on th¢ 2018 results, we
are fJghtin8 for a bigger share of a smaller rnarket.
Th¢ society must be realistic about the future and difficultdeci5ions may need to be made. Inl]ationary pressure has been
significant during the past year. Whilst the exwts tell us that this wtll be short iemi history shows that once in place
inflation often proves ditTicult to reduce. TÉme will tell.
