There could very well be. Charolais are notorious for siring large calves, and as such this could prove to be a really big problem for a bison momma. Bison are naturally adapted to give birth to small calves and to give birth quickly. If the bison cow cannot give birth to such a large calf, then she will be in serious trouble.

Can only a bull get a cow pregnant?

Yes. That's the only way you will get a calf. Breeding a cow to another male animal (except a bull bison or carabao) will not get her pregnant.

Who would win in a fight bison or bull?

Well, Let's be clear as to what we are talking about here. A Bison is a large hooved mammal belonging to Bovinae Sub Family of the bovidae Family of animals. They are Bovines, like yaks and cows (cattle). There are two existing species, The American Bison and the European Bison. There 4 known extinct species. A Bull is the male of any of this family of animals If you are asking who would win a fight? I would say put two male Bison in a pit with a breeding female. My guess is the larger more testosterone soaked male will win his ladies affection. So the answer is the larger hornier Bison will win making both the Bison and the Bull the winner. This by the way was a trick answer since bison and bull aren't describing different animals.

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.

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.


In Charolais bulls what do EPDs mean?

EPD's in Charolais bulls are numbers that tell of what genetics and characteristics that bull can pass on to his offspring. EPDs are based on a breed average when compared to other bulls of the same breed raised on the same feed in the same environment that are of the same age. Average is 0, whereas any number that is above average is a positive (+) number and any number that is below average is a negative (-) number. For instance, a Charolais bull (Bull A) that is considered to have good calving ease for his breeding and according to his birthweight, should have a negative value in the birthweight value and a positive value for calving ease. A Charolais bull (Bull B) that has good growth and high carcass characteristics should have a plus sign for weaning and yearling weights and carcass characteristics (marbling, rib-eye area, etc.). Bull A (one with good calving ease) is most likely to sire calves that are small at birthweight and easy for Charolais heifers to calve out. Bull B, on the other hand, will often be the opposite of Bull A because of the high weaning weights and excellent growth. Bull A is considered a maternal bull (siring calves best for raising for breeding), whereas Bull B is considered a terminal bull (sires calves intended for slaughter only). Note: EPDs are not to be compared with other breeds, since the average for each breed is different. See the related link below for more information on EPDs.
