Charolais Calves: Explosive Growth, Easy Calving

'I bred my Emblem DeBruycker Charolais bull to some of my commercial cows last year. I got a heck of a set of calves out of him.

This cow pictured below weighs around 1,000 lbs and her steer calf pictured with her here is 6 1/2 months old and already weighs 650 lbs!

No creep feed on him either. Emblem is a larger framed bull so these calves - on moderate sized cows - are unbelievably big compared to their dams.

And, no calving problems at all.'

**Eblem was a Trademark son I bought a couple of years ago. I use him on purebred and commercial cows.
