Best Answer

At birth, a Charolais calf averages around 60 lbs; some more, some less, depending on the birthweight value of the sire and the age of the dam.

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.


How much does a steer weigh at birth?

A steer is not born as a steer because a steer is a castrated bull-calf. In other words, a bull calf is born then castrated (or "steered") a few days or months after birth, or right at weaning, depending on the producer. A bull-calf's birth weight depends on its breeding. He can be as small as 30 lbs (miniature cattle) or as large as over 100 lbs (larger breeds like Chianina, Simmental, or Charolais).
