[QUOTE="Pooog1, post: 263014, member: 3959"] This is a very sound group of cows to have. It's a very nice cross; we have had a few of these in the years past. As far as birth weights go we had a few Charolais bulls that had larger calves. The good thing is the Salers cows are famous for a larger pelvic area and can have these larger calves with ease. Birth weights even in the Angus breed have skyrocketed in our area. You don't find the 70lb birth weights here on the registered farms that frequently anymore. I have seen many of them over 100lbs. AND who knows how many of them are being honest! The pictures that I have posted are of 75% or greater red Salers cows and calves sired by Charolais bulls. The gold calves we get sell very well. One thing to keep in mind with the Salers is not to let anyone scare you off with horror stories of bad dispositions. There are unscrupulous breeders out there who don't care but for the most part they are as easy going as anything else you could find. We've had more than one bull/cow that we could sit on and set kids on. We even had a picture of a 2yr old bull that we showed with us sitting on him at our state fair. Like most anyone will agree there are good and bad with any breed, you just need to be able to spot it and stay away. Take care and good luck. You'll really like this group of cows! [/QUOTE]
