I'm sorry i forgot to answer your questions in my rambling.(1)angus over charolais,(2)NO there absolutely not the same,charolais tend to get to market later -have more calving problems and generally dont bring the money angus does,(3)if thats what I had yes -but i wouldn't buy charolais specifically unless there was a local market for doing so,(4)every breed of cattle tend to have good and bad points-breed for what you need or have a market for,I myself wouldn't try crossing charlais cows with angus bulls specifically-i think what you would get are small birthweight calves that mature later,(5) if I went to the trouble of buying purebred anything i'd try to stay with that breed.(6) choose what breed you like and are capable of handling,we have mostly crosses and limousin but our cattle are wilder than most and some will really hurt you in a pen,but we have a LOT of trouble with dogs that folks have dumped chasing and killing calves.limousin cattle seem to fight them off ,or at least try to, better than angus or crosses so we keep our cross breds closer to home.(7) all breeds have good and bad points.some are better mothers,some milk out better,they are all bred for a purpose and each advantage seems in someway to have a trade-off.find one that suits your buisness and go with it.just make sure in the end that you can market whatever you get.
