We are proud to see females from our previous sire lines becoming great mothers and stamping their quality into their progeny. The past five years have been quite unexpected for the beef industry, however, the past 12 months have been more consistent, which provides a sense of stability for buyers and producers. When production is efficient, we can focus on producing quality meat and achieving maximum production. Getting your produce to market weight as quick as possible is beneficial as: The quicker an animal can get to market weights the lower the carbon footprint of that animal The younger a beast is processed the better the tenderness, so this relates to higher meat quality The quicker an animal is turned off means it frees up resources in terms of both land and labour and this translates into greater profitability for an enterprise. By purchasing a Rosedale bull, you are purchasing a bull that aims to have all of these qualities above, as we are dedicated to developing Charolais infused genetics to suit the modern day Australian cattlemen and cattlewomen. This years Charolais bulls are once again dominated by homozygous polled bulls and we are proud that all bulls offered are polled. We are focusing on a type that will produce sufficient weight gains but wont let you down on carcase quality. For more information, the catalogue for the sale is out now and can be viewed here https://rosedalecharolais.com.au/2025-annual-sale/ on our website.

April 25, 2025At Rosedale Charolais, we have spent three generations selecting for critical traits in our polled Charolais and composite bulls. There are three main essential traits to look out for when purchasing a Charolais that we believe to be the most important. These characteristics include the foot structure, temperament and body type. Foot Structure The foot structure of a Charolais bull is important to look out for, for many reasons. Poor feet can lead to mobility issues. This can reduce the breeding capacity of the bull, therefore reducing its productive life. A bull that can’t walk won’t work. Temperament The bulls’ temperament is essential to consider as aggressive bulls create dangerous conditions. This can be harmful to you or other animals on your farm. Bulls with an aggressive temperament also produce difficult calves that can be hard to manage. Body type The right body type of a bull is a factor to look at when purchasing a bull as a balanced structure will enhance your herd’s productivity and profitability. Ensuring they are of the right weight and size suited to what you’re after are key features to note. Are you curious for more information? Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list for more!
