Disadvantages include the following:
- Bulls and cows can reach monstrous sizes at maturity (most are over 1700 lbs at maturity; bulls much heavier)
- Not the greatest calving ease, especially if a Charolais bull is used on Red Angus or Angus heifers.
- Not known for docility, most cattle in this breed are nervous, flighty and can be down right dangerous when cornered. (However, this can be culled out in purebred Charolais cow-calf herds)
- Not easy keepers especially on coarse pasture typical of most ranching areas: cattle sometimes to often need supplementation
- Lean beef; breed known for producing very little marbling in the beef
- Lack of colour pigment around eyes may leave them prone to pink-eye and cancer-eye
- Lack of pigment may make teats more prone to chappedness and soreness in cold weather, even sun-burn and frost-bite (especially in older cows with large teats)

Where did charolais cattle originate from?

How do you spell charlea is that a type of bull?
It's spelled Charolais. It's a breed, not a type of bull. The Charolais (pronounced as SHAR-lay) is a beef breed that originated in France, and was historically used for draft purposes. Most of the cattle of this breed are white, but there are also black and red-factor cattle. The black Charolais look almost like really beefy black Jersey cattle, only difference is that there is no tan saddle, plus they are much larger and muscular than the Jersey breed. Red-factor Charolais are almost an orange colour to a light yellow-tan. Charolais are very poor milkers, raise and give birth to very large calves, and overall have an averageweight of over 1600 to 2000 lbs. They are a breed that needs a bit more pampering than others because of their genetics and ancestral roots.

What breed of cattle has the least amount of fat out of charlais angus and charlais angus cross?
Well, for one thing, an F2 animal out of a Char-Angus x Char-Angus is definitely not a breed, but a crossbreed.Unless your asking "What breed of cattle has the least amount of fat: Charolais, Angus or Charolais Angus cross?" I assume this is the closest to what your asking, as the question you posted above makes very little sense.Charolais-Angus crossbreds are not a breed, but a composite. These cattle have the characteristics of both Charolais and Angus parents, and so wouldn't have the least amount of fat at finishing. Angus tend to mature early, and consequently put on more fat during finishing than either a Char-Angus cross or a Charolais. So, that leaves us with the final answer:A Charolais is the breed of beef cattle that has the least amount of fat content.
