As virile and active breeders, Grau Charolais bulls are made for breeding cows in tough country. Bulls sold each year quickly adapt to and perform in all kinds of conditions, ranging from harsh winter weather conditions to rugged high desert country and heavy fescue pastures not seen in Montana. Bulls are shaped ideally for ease in calving ability and produce calves with high growth rates. A properly chosen Charolais bull can easily yield 50-70 pounds heavier calf weaning weights than other breeds. Ideal testicle size yields early maturing cattle, which is important for female fertility and carcass quality.
