That's a great looking and stocky calf.
current veal dinner...............
A blank canvas! Some hair dye would make that in to a party animal.
Way too mild ,,,,,, need more snow !!
Heifer ,,,,,
Not a problem ,,,,, all steers are contracted to same buyer, for years. Heifers are kept, older cows shipped to the sale barn.
She's beautiful 😍

Are all their cattle Charolais or do they have a mix?
Two herds, Charolais and Hereford mix ,,,,,, one buyer wants all Charolais.
Interesting. As someone that's always been partial to Angus I'd love to hear his reasoning.
Can’t answer that ,,,,,,, he’s 5th generation rancher, and he’s run Charolais before I knew him. His son runs 1000+/- head
of Angus on another ranch.
I had to look up what a Charolais looked like.
It used to be the cow had problems delivering the hind quarters when bred to a Charolais bull due to that "double muscling thing"?!?
It has been a whole lot of years. Is that even a thing anymore?? Was it even a thing 40 to 50 years ago??
I've never seen a Charolais that handsome 😍

I'm quite familiar with a lot of cattle breeds but that one was one I'd never heard of.
Anyway, around here our bovines are pretty spoiled! It is a tourist destination you know.
😁
He's awful purty! I wonder how long they spent shampooing and brushing him out to get him to look that good?
I showed that picture to my angus bull JJ this morning. He just snorted and muttered something about the French.
Looks delicious!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Brookwood - That Charolais looks like a white buffalo going to a * ho down. I do wonder where the ribbon is tied off on the end?
As for the calf that got to be India.
That's nutz.
Lotta that going on right now. Just got this picture from my Texas daughter... born sometime last night. Angus/Charolais/Longhorn mix. Mom doesn't look at all happy that the SIL ventured close enough to take the picture.
There was an outfit North of here several years ago that had a high dollar Charolais herd. They would take their calves away from their mothers and nurse them on a string of Holsteins. They had some of those calves trained to get on scales everyday so they could show prospective buyers the calves daily rate of gain. They bought a multi thousand dollar bull and some of his frozen semen. They were going to artificial breed their cows. The problem with beef cattle is how to catch them in estrus. The way they solved that was to buy a little Angus bull, give him a vasectomy and hang a blue chalk ball under his neck. That was a genius idea, except they didn't wait long enough for the little angus bull to clear his tubes of viable seed. He got a few of those high dollar cows bred and they had blue chalk marks on their back.
