Welcome to the British Charolais Cattle Society. We are a registered charity with a not-for-profit, company limited by guarantee to serve the public by promoting and improving the Charolais breed.
Since 1962, we’ve been making the case for Charolais because no bull works harder for the farmer, the plate and the planet.
Charolais offers a bright future for British beef. Charolais is the best breed for British farmers, because it’s more sustainable and profitable, due to its:
- Continued improvement to calving ease
- Unrivalled growth rates
- Outstanding carcass quality
- Killing out percentages
Charolais-sired suckled calves can be:
- Sold as weanlings, commanding top prices and regularly topping markets up and down the country.
- Stored through the winter and finished off the farm at 12-15 months on a forage and grain-based diet.
- Brought through the winter on a maintenance diet and finished off with grass the following summer, depending on the farm’s system.
The Charolais breed is renowned for crossing into profit due to its outstanding attributes.
By collaborating with the cattle farming community, the British Charolais Cattle Society is driven to minimise costs and maximise the efficiency of British cattle farming.

Royal Welsh Show 2024
Repeating her success at the Great Yorkshire, the Corbett family’s four-year-old cow, Teme Poshtotty, was awarded the overall breed championship at the Royal Welsh Show by judge David Connolly, of the Brigadoon herd in Ballynahinch, Co Down, before finishing reserve overall in the cattle inter-breed contest.
Going one better than the reserve breed title she achieved at the Royal Welsh in 2022, Poshtotty was shown with her heifer calf at foot, Teme Uptowngirl. A daughter of the 70,000gns Barnsford Ferny, out of the Blelack Digger-sired Teme Ivory, she’s one of 30 cows in the Corbetts’ herd at Felindre, Powys.
