Charolais are raised for meat; they may be crossed with other breeds, including Angus and Hereford cattle. HistoryOutside FranceThe breed was introduced to the southern United States from Mexico in 1934. In 1965 it was introduced in the northern New England states from Canada.{{r|aica}} CharacteristicsThe breed tends to be large-muscled, with bulls weighing up to {{convert|900|kg|lb|-2|abbr=on}} and cows up to {{convert|900|kg|lb|-2|abbr=on}}. In England, a bull of this breed has reached a weight of 2 tonnes. They also tend to be a skittish breed of cattle.[1] DistributionThe Charolais is the second-most numerous cattle breed in France after the Holstein and the most common beef breed, ahead of the Limousin. At the end of 2014, France had 4.22 million head of Charolais, including 1.56 million cows, down 0.6% from a year earlier.{{r|agreste}} The Charolais is a world breed: it is reported to DAD-IS by 68 countries, of which 37 report population data. The world population is estimated at about 730,000. The largest populations are reported from the Czech Republic and Mexico.{{r|dad}} Charolais x Zebu crossesA cross-breed with Brahmans is called Charbray and is recognised as a breed in some countries. {{r|dad2}} Zebu, which can tolerate extreme heat,[2] were imported into Brazil in the early 20th century and crossbred with Charolais cattle, a European taurine breed. The resulting breed, 63% Charolais and 37% zebu, is called the Canchim. It has a better meat quality than the zebu and better heat resistance than European cattle. The zebu breeds used were primarily Indo-Brazilian with some Nelore and Guzerat. See also
