Charolais cattle

From Freepedia

Image:Charolais.jpg Charolais cattle are a breed of cattle (Bos Taurus) which originated in Charolais, around Charolles, in France. They are raised for their meat and are known for their composite qualities when crossed with other breeds, most notably Angus and Hereford cattle. This breed has been quite popular in the top end of Australia where they are more adaptable to the harsh weather conditions. The coat is almost pure white. The Australian and Canadian breed standards also recognize cattle possessing a light red color called 'Red Factor' Charolais. The term Charbray refers to the offspring of a Charolais crossed with a Brahman and is recognised as a breed in its own right.
