These are Terminal cattle - if you are just starting - you would be better to get some black baldies or straight black cows. then breed them to a charolais bull if you want those smokies- Sell everything -including the heifers.CopeMan":2w5ynvvm said:Are the smokey colored Angus/Char good cows to add to a herd?

dcara":1jzsssg2 said:It would be interesting to see how they grade out. I've read research out of Japan that says Char's have the worst marbling characteristics. Specifically the lipid starts out low and late and actually stop completely at around 20 months age. Angus "can" have the most lipid though if feed out right, and actually "can" never stop producing lipids. The "can" issue depends on the feeding program.
