Chuck with his younger brother Robert with their 4H Club calves. Robert's calf was a Shorthorn and was more typical of the larger conformation later considered more desirable.

This is the earliest picture we can find so far of Chuck, as a young boy in Gillman, Illinois with his Angus calf as a 4 H project, taken about 1945. He showed the calf at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. It gave Chuck tremendous experience in livestock care, handling, and competition in the show ring. The calf won no prizes but was sold for a premium price after the exposition which was held in the Union Stockyards.
