Charolais are medium to large framed beef cattle with a very deep and broad body. Their colour is white to cream with a pink muzzle and pale hooves. They have a short, broad head and are heavily muscled. Charolais have demonstrated a definite superiority in growth ability. With excellent meat conformation, especially of the valuable parts and relative late maturity they are well suited to fattening for high. They are well suited to all purpose cross breeding.

3.Why are Charolais so valuable?
