Charolais quality" |

The Red and Black Charolais breeding program at Laue Ranch has caught on in a big way. In the decade that has passed since our first acquisitions in 1994, we have developed the deepest herd of Red and Black cattle in the United States. Our “Reliable Reds” offer all the traditional advantages of the Charolais breed with an added bonus – the alternative of red hair coat color. Commercial breeders are finding Red bulls an attractive alternative to other breeds for putting color back into percentage Charolais cowherds or holding the color on black and red cowherds, all while maintaining or improving their performance. For purebred Charolais breeders, Red cattle provide the opportunity to offer alternatives to their customers without expanding into other breeds. Our Black cattle take this all one step further by offering the revolutionary option of black hair coat color on a Charolais animal. We invite you to view the Red and Black animals on our herdsire and cowherd pages. You can read about how they fit into the history of our herd on our history page. As you will see, the Reds and Blacks have become an integral part of our operation. Perhaps you are reading this with disbelief, because you thought all Charolais cattle are white. Not so long ago, we shared that disbelief. As a matter of fact, however, Charolais cattle unquestionably possess the genetic material for colors other than white. And as with any genetic trait, it can be shaped by breeding and genetic selection. Who would have guessed that we could produce dark red and black animals just a generation or two away from white ancestors? But it has happened. For more information, click on our Q & A link below. As of 2007, we have five purebred Black Charolais bulls in service – something we believe you will find nowhere else in the business. Even aside from their revolutionary color, they are outstanding individuals:
