The most significant moderation done with Charolais here was the creation of a double muscled Charolais line. Not suitable for pure breeding. Working extremely well in crossbreeding. Actually abit easier calved than normal Charolais.

Some of them I see have had the frame bred off of them.They are still the white color but for a Char they are very moderate frame wise. Still a wide rear end but not near as tall and mammoth.
Yes, same here. But even if they are smaller, still have bigger bones than other breeds. Have a couple cows sired by different bulls and some are very tall, some are short, but heavy. Like in every breed there are many different types, as every farmer forms his herd with the type of cows he likes the most. Everybody's herd looks abit different. But people, who work in purebred breeding seriously, sell their bulls for AI companies, always look for the better growth and most try to breed easier calving and milkier animals. Have used one Charolais bull this year, which has an extremely good growth, so I believe he'll produce some size too, abit lower than average calving and good milk.
