How much is a Charlotte cow?

Charolais is a world-famous large beef breed, which originated in Charolais and Nivler from central and western France to the southeast of France. Since it was bred, it has been widely welcomed by the international market because of its fast growth, large meat, large size and resistance to extensive. Let's take a look at how much Charolais costs per head.

How much is a Charolais cow?

The price of Charolais cattle is generally high, but it grows fast, and the meat yield is also high, and there are many people raising it. The price of Charolais cattle is generally about 3000-6000 yuan, and the price of the size and the growth skeleton of the cow is also different. The adult purebred Charolais is about 15000 yuan per head, and the calf is about 4000-5000 yuan.

Appearance characteristics of Charolais cattle

The most prominent feature of Charolais cattle is that the coat is white or milky white, the skin is often stained, and the whole body is particularly muscular. The bones are strong, the limbs are strong, the head is small and wide, the angle is round and long, and extends forward, horny wax yellow, neck thick, chest wide and deep, ribs square, back wide and flesh thick, the body is cylindrical, the muscles are plump, and the posterior hip muscles are well developed, protruding backward and laterally, often forming "double muscles" characteristics. The average weight of adult bull is 1100 to 1200 kg, cow is 70000kg, newborn calf is 45kg, female calf is 42kg.

Production performance of Charolais cattle

The most remarkable characteristics of Charolais cattle in production performance are fast growth rate and high lean meat yield. Under good feeding conditions, the 6-month-old male calf can reach 250 kg, the female calf can reach 210 kg, the daily gain can reach 1.4 kg, and the bull can reach 511 kg. Charolais cattle have good meat production performance, the slaughtering percentage is generally 60% 70%, the carcass lean percentage is 80% 85%, the carcass weight of 16-month-old fattening cows is 418 kg, and the slaughtering rate is 66.3%. The milk yield of cows is relatively high, with a milk yield of 2000 kg and a milk fat rate of 4.0%-4.7%, but the dystocia rate of Charolais cattle during purebred reproduction is higher, with an average of about 13.7%.

Meat characteristics of Charolais cattle

The main results are as follows: 1. Meat performance: different breeds of Charolais cattle are different in physique and shape, which makes great differences in growth rate, meat yield and carcass composition of beef cattle. During the fattening period, the average daily gain is 1.72kg, and the age of 12 months can reach 680,790kg. However, the daily gain of local varieties is only 0.9-1.1 kg, which shows the big gap.

2. Nutritional value: the protein content of Charolais beef is as high as 89.5%, and the digestibility after human consumption is as high as 90%. It can provide a lot of heat energy, which is more than twice that of pork, and has been favored by consumers for a long time.

3, meat grade: Charolais beef is significantly higher than ordinary beef, meat color is bright red, fine texture, elastic, moderate marbling, fat color is white or yellowish, carcass surface fat coverage rate is 100%. It is difficult for ordinary cattle to meet this standard.
