Here is our charolais herdsire we have been using for the past couple of years. We sold him to a friend of ours in IA but will still be using him A.I. for years to come.

Yes he is purebred and his reg # is M792834. Pay not attention to the milk epd, I don't think that is accurate in any breed.

The bull shows a lot of meat and muscling with pretty correct structure ,big rib eye EPD but with no marbling ....The milk EPD might have to disagree with your opinion on that ,EPD'S are based on info and parentage ,take a look especially on sire parentage and back 2-3 generations lack of milk .....There  is no way according to his parentage that it could read much different ....Good looking bull especially for terminal use ,but would not want to build a purebred  female herd with him .....

Nice bull. Don't worry about EPD's, they were invented for the pencil pushing business man investors to keep busy.

I agree with CLUBBY  to a certain degree, but if your selling a product some  people still pay attention to these ,their are quite a few people that have used the sires of your bull and would have their opinion of how well they milked .....I have  friend that used the PUGEOT bull and wasn't satisfied with the milk ....Just trying to help ....
