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.

2024 CHarolais Youth Programme (CHYPS)
Would you like to take part in the 2024 CHarolais Youth Program (CHYPS)?
The ‘S’ stands for study, stock, social, scholarship, skills, syllabus, science, and success
This year it will take place in Wales by kind permission of the renowned Charolais breeder Mr D. Esmor Evans BScBVM&S MRCVS, also fondly known as the ‘Welsh Wizard’ and his partner Iorwen Jones of the record-breaking Maerdy herd. The fact that Esmor runs a busy veterinary practice in Mold, North Wales, and runs a 120-cow pedigree Charolais herd on a 1000ft hill farm 26 miles from his home, makes it even more remarkable that he has generously found the time to host our 2024 CHYPS programme and for that, the British Charolais Cattle Society is enormously grateful.
