Charolais History

Northern Ireland Charolais Offer High Animal health status, complete traceability, a genetic performance recording system and outstanding growth and conformation.

Northern Ireland is in a unique position to offer livestock for local commercial farms or for export to other countries due to its high animal health status and its location on the periphery of Europe. When you add the excellent traceability system which tracks an animal throughout its lifetime, the recording system which describes the genetic potential of the animals for all the important traits, and the husbandry skills of the breeders, then you can have confidence in our livestock.
