[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1376942, member: 16303"] In the United states, cattle can be considered purebred Charolais as long as 31/32 of their genetics are from Charolais cattle. This means that 1/32 can be from other breeds like Angus or Red Angus. As a result, it is possible for Charolais cattle to have red or black coloring, in addition to the traditional white or cream varieties. Some Charolais cattle also develop a red coat due to a gene mutation. In order to be registered with the American International Charolais Association as purebred, cattle must posses 31/32 Charolais genetics and be white, cream, straw, or red in color. [b]This means black cattle are not eligible for the the designation, even if they meet the genetic standards.[/b] Black and red Charolais may be more difficult to distinguish from other breeds of cattle because they lack one of the most distinctive features (the white color). For this reason, you may need to pay even more attention to the body composition and head characteristics than you would with a white Charolais. [b]This means black cattle are not eligible for the the designation, even if they meet the genetic standards.[/b] The Canadian Charolais Association does register the Black Charolais. Here in the US, the AICA still does not recognize the Black's. Under the Composite Beef Cattle Registry, we have been registering the blacks for a little over a year for breeders in the US. as the American Black Charolais Association and the American Equalizer Registry (the Equalizer is a composite of the Black Charolais and Angus) [/QUOTE]
