BREED INFORMATION

British Charolais are a terminal breef sire and should be fast growing cattle of good conformation

CHAROLAIS BULLS

* The Charolais bull should be a well-muscled animal on good strong feet and legs to carry the heavy weights associated with the breed.

* The head should have a wide muzzle with a strong jaw placement.

* The eyes should be set reasonably wide apart

* The ears should be big.

* The head should be sat proud on a strong muscular neck.

* The back should be long and level without dips, particularly behind the shoulder.

* There should be a good heart room and a minimum amount of brisket in the forequarter.

* The tail setting should be set comfortable into good wide plates over the hindquarters of the bull.

* The hindquarters should also have a good depth of second thigh and should be well rounded.

* There can be two extreme types of Charolais, which should be discouraged. One type would be the tall, flat-sided bull which has a slack back and a poor hindquarter. This type has no place in modern day beef production and indeed never has. The second would be double-muscled heavy shouldered bull, which invariably has associated fertility and calvingproblems.

CHAROLAIS FEMALES

* The females should have a feminine appearance and should not be heavily muscled and masculine in appearance as this sort tend to be either poor or irregular breeders.

* The head should be wide muzzled with a longer rather than boxy type appearance.

* Like the bulls, the head should be alert.

* The back should be long and level with a good spring of rib and a minimum of brisket in theforequarter.

* The tail setting should not be dropped and preferably should be slightly raised as this is alleged to be associated with easier calving.

* The legs should be of strong flat bone on good sound feet.

* In the case of cows, the udder should be of a good capacity with four well-formed teats forsuckled calf production.

* The colour of Charolais cattle is generally creamy white through to a light tan colour.

* Broken coloured cattle are not to be encouraged although this would be of a secondary importance to skeletal structure and good conformation.
