Charolais Bull
Charolais cows
'Charolais cattle' (pronounced shä'rə-lā') are a
beef 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 recognise cattle possessing a light red colour called 'Red Factor' Charolais. The term ''
Charbray'' refers to the offspring of Charolais crossed with
Brahmans and is recognised as a breed in its own right.
