A load of old bull ! - a photo on Flickriver

            Mid Devon County show.

The Charolais was the first Continental breed of cattle to be introduced to Great Britain and it revolutionised our beef industry. The initial importation of bulls, which was led by dairy producers seeking a superior sire to improve their calves’ conformation, arrived in the late 1950s.

The Charolais is a breed of taurine beef cattle from the Charolais area surrounding Charolles, in Burgundy, in eastern France. Charolais are raised for meat; they may be crossed with other breeds, including Angus and Hereford cattle. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Bos taurus
Higher classification: Cattle
Rank: Breed

• The Charolais bull should be a well-muscled animal on good strong feet and legs to carry the heavy weights associated with the breed.

• The head should have a wide muzzle with a strong jaw placement.

• The eyes should be set reasonably wide apart.

• The ears should be big.

• The head should be sat proud on a strong muscular neck.

• The back should be long and level without dips, particularly behind the shoulder.

• There should be a good heart room and a minimum amount of brisket in the forequarter.

• The tail-setting should be set comfortably into good wide plates over the hindquarters of the bull.

• The hindquarters should also have a good depth of second thigh and should be well rounded.
