Charolais enthusiasts put on their boots at the weekend and completed a
tour of four Perthshire herds on an official bull walk organised by the
breed society’s North East and Central Charolais Club.
“This was a first
time venture designed to bring together commercial farmers and pedigree
breeders for an exchange of ideas, and take a close up look at their
bulls as well as inspect the respective herds’ damlines,” said society
chairman, Iain Millar.

Charolais cattle demand buoyed by commercial
marketplace

An insatiable demand for British Charolais cattle from commercial
beef producers was reflected in last year’s
UK
marketplace where the breed enjoyed record sales in
Scotland,
Wales
and
Northern Ireland
according to breed society chairman, Iain Millar. “The number of
bulls coming under the hammer sold was going on 10% up on the year
at 746 to average £4,689, a figure that increased by 40% on 2008.
The trade for Charolais females also improved, particularly for cows
aith good calves at foot. In addition, the trends were complemented
by a 5% increase in the society’s membership, particularly when
considering the breed society was inaugurated almost 50 years ago.”
