CHAROLAIS BREED

Charolais breed

​

When fattening, the bulls of the Charolais breed form mainly muscular and not fatty meat tissue. One of the main features of this breed is high weight gains during a long period of time, maybe even up to 2 years. Also, based on an intensive feeding program it is possible to get very heavy cattle with a large amount of muscle meat and at the same time a rather low weight of bones.
