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.

Can a longhorn cow be bred with a charolais bull?
Yes, but you have a very likely chance that the cow will have trouble giving birth. This is because Charolais are notorious for siring large calves, and since Longhorns are known for birthing small birth-weight calves, you could land yourself in a heap of trouble. You could end up loosing the cow for all it's worth. If you want a Charolais-Longhorn mix in your herd, you're better off breeding a Longhorn bull with a Charolais cow. This is because the cow will have much less trouble giving birth than if you breed vice versa.
What is the best cow there is?
Charolais is the best beef breed, and Holstein is the best dairy breed.
How does a white cow and black bull make a spotted cow?
They don't. That has never happened before, and likely never will. When you cross a White Shorthorn cow with a Black Angus bull you will get a grey calf (this is how the Murray Grey breed came about, by the way). The same thing occurs if you put a Black Angus bull on a Charolais cow.
How long after calving can a Charolais cow get bred again?
The average should be around 45 to 60 days at the least.
