[QUOTE="Australian Cattleman, post: 336794, member: 285"] I have a few pure Charolais the few things that I have noted with them are, they are poor mothers sometimes,they do tend to be somewhat flighty in the yards when compared to my South Devons and Herefords. They also tend to loose condition easily and take the most feed to put that condition back onto.The positives that I like that makes me keep them are,increased weight of their progeny,especially when crossed with our Brahmans and South Devons,their scale will add height to lower frame scored cattle. Calving problems haven't been an issue because I don't use Charolais bulls over them. Next door though I have seen a dead Hereford mother or two over the past years and this person uses moderate framed Charolais bulls over Herefords.But if you have plenty of feed and time to spend with them there's no problem.
