RED Charolais - Bulls With The Commercial Man In Mind!

Growing up in North America on commercial cow herds, we have all seen many changes in the last 30 years. From straight British cow herds, we witnessed first the benefits of hybrid vigor from crossing two breeds. Then with the influence of the European Beef Breeds, we became used to the term TERMINAL CROSS.

After experimenting with almost all of the new breeds we kept coming back to Charolais for the obvious reasons - weaning weights, feedlot demand, calving ease as well as acceptability at the packing plant. The job North American Charolais Breeders have done with their cattle over the last 40 years is beyond compare.

My goal is to raise quality, dark red cattle. I feel that pigment is the key to consistency and that black is important to add more dark red skin tone – amounting to more colour and consistency in offspring. I’ve been breeding exclusively red for 25 years. Some of the pedigrees are not all red on both sides, but pretty close in some cases have as many as 15 – 20 generations of red factor influence.
