[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 121581, member: 2095"] I am not a big Charolais fan; but they will certainly add frame and muscle to a set of Longhorn and Braford cows and your calves will be heavier and bring more cash. With crossing Longhorns to a Charolais bull you wants to be careful about excessive birth weight. Look at the EPDs you want a Charolais with a -1 or lower birth weight EPD. After that, do not to get one with a too big too blocky head. Look to get a well muscled bull with growth EPDs that are better than the average for the breed. I don't buy anything too large framed and if you are keeping heifers be sure to get a bull with a dam that YOU like and a positive milk EPD. [/QUOTE]
