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.
