I'll say this Shortgrass, I love my Charolais. They're from a line that was originally from the US, spent many years in Cuba, and then made their way to Venezuela.
There aren't many of us breeding them in Venezuela both those of us who do breed them, like them. I find them really docile and easy to manage, right up to the largest and oldest bulls. And they're doing well on grass alone.
The guys at my ranch love 'em too as most had never worked with them before. In fact, when we bring in a new animal and it's overly wild, they're wanting to ship it off immediately for slaughter as they've gotten used to the tameness of the Charolais.
I'm crossing the Charolais with my mestizo herd because the offspring make really impressive animals. Having said that, I'm still producing pure-bred Charolais and sell several bulls every year to nearby herds whose owners are impressed when they see the crosses we're producing.
