I crossed a Charolais with some old Longhorn/Corriente cows and the Charolais is very dominate.  I sold of a group of the weaned calves Monday.  They averaged 345 lbs and brought $134 cwt.  The calves brought as much as the cow is worth and it's because they were crossed to the Charolais.

I couldn't hardly give away the calves when I use to cross them with a Corriente bull.
