[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1618606, member: 24816"] From the late 80’s through mid 90’s I ran registered Charolais. Heard a lot of horror stories, and finally it ended with our own horror story of a disastrous calving year. Some bulls that we used really were easy calving and with some lines you could expect to have to pull some every once in a while. All of the bulls we had were good natured and calm and most of the cows were dog gentle, a few were plum dangerous when they calved though. Most of ours milked extremely well, but some bloodlines did not milk well at all. My opinion is that Charolais will cross well with any breed and put out some good doing crossbred calves. I would not recommend breeding a Charolais bull to heifers of any other breed though. Angus is my breed of choice for heifers . [/QUOTE]
