I'm sure that almost all know Charolais breed, but does anybody know Culard Charolais? Have anyone tried them or beef breed Inra 95?

The Culard line are double muscled and carry the same problems the other double muscled breeds do.

I'm sure that almost all know Charolais breed, but does anybody know Culard Charolais? Have anyone tried them or beef breed Inra 95?

From my old research I found out that Culard is a dead end, calving difficulties and health problems.
The inras seems to be a very progressive breed, for their purpose.
The breed is specifically developed for crossbreeding on holstein cows for the production of veal, meaning basically bred only for muscle, a light colour (to show calf buyers that the crossbred calf is sired by a beef bull) and birth ease.

We've tried Inra 95 semen on our dairy cow.

Born bull. At 14 months his weight was 428kg and carcass yield was 58%. I think not bad for half dairy.His dam dairy genetic is very strong, so all of her calves don't grow fast.
