[QUOTE="rynophiliac, post: 1072784, member: 21471"] We also have a small herd of Charolais. There are several things we really like about them: very hardy for our high desert climate and they're willing to travel a long way for feed/water. We also have never had any calving problems with the Charolais (which I thought we would have). The calves get big very quickly even in a desert pasture. A few thing we don't like about them is they run from us at first sight, but to be fair we bought them from a local ranch and they rarely got worked so they were like that when we bought them. The replacement heifers we have kept are much more calm around us because they are used to seeing us and being worked but the old mamas still run and working are working on replacing them also. They also don't seem to bring very much money at our local market compared to other beef breeds. I do believe Charolais have a place in some ranches though. The bulls are very productive and the calves gain quickly. Find a breed of mamas that works best for your ranch and throw some Charolais bulls out there and you will have some nice calves. [/QUOTE]
