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 color is the calf if you breed a black bull with a white cow?

That all depends on the breed[s] of either the sire and the dam.Basically, though, if the black bull is Angus, and the white cow is Charolais, then the calf that results will come out grey.


What do you call a cross breed of a charolais cow and an angus bull that is blue?

That cross does NOT produce a blue calf. This cross will give a GREY or smokey-grey calf, never blue. The resulting cross would simply be called a Char-Angus cross or Angus-Char or Angus-Charolais cross.

How can i make a charbray cow from a charolais cow?

That's real easy. Breed the Charolais cow to a Brahman bull and you'll get your F1 Charbray calf. Mind you, it's a 50-50 chance you'll get a heifer (which will "turn into" a cow once she has a calf) over a bull, so you may want to breed the dam until you get a heifer from her, if all she throws is bull calves. Either that or get more than one Charolais cow (preferably over 50) and breed them to the Brahman bull to get your Charbray cattle. Also, Charbrays are actually 5/8 Charolais and 3/8 Brahman, so you might have to breed the F1 offspring back to a Charolais bull to get a true Charbray cow...or bull.


Are white cows rare in the US?

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.
