They can be, especially if you are referring the very large breeds of cattle like Charolais, Chianina and Belgian Blue, for instance. But not all cattle are enormous: there are miniature breeds of cattle that are only the size of a medium to large dog.
Simmental and Charolais beef cattle differ primarily in their origin and physical characteristics. Simmental, originating from Switzerland, is known for its distinctive color patterns, usually a mix of red and white, and is recognized for its versatility in both milk and meat production. Charolais, hailing from France, is typically cream or white in color and is prized for its muscle development and high-quality beef yield. While both breeds are excellent for beef production, Charolais is often preferred for its superior growth rates and lean meat.
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.

Charolais are pretty popular, though not as popular as Angus cattle are. Relatively speaking, if you see a farm with white and yellow or red-factor cows or cattle, chances are they are Charolais. You can find them all over North America (except the far north), Mexico, Great Britain, France, Australia, etc.
Charolais, Chianina, Gelbvieh, Limousin, Maine Anjou, Salers, and Simmental
The same family that cattle of any other breed belongs to: Bovidae.
Charolais have the same immunity to diseases as many other beef cattle have. It all depends on what their immune systems are exposed to and what they are not.
Charolais are famous from the Saone and Loire region of France
