Fairbury, NE (Southeast)		What I've seen with char in herd for 25 years.

-Great growth
-can be a little high strung and push fence.
-difficult to retain heifers due to large size to a lesser extent temperament. That said have a few char x cows and have been very good mother's. Just have to go off their dam.
-Bottom line is heifer retention is a deal breaker over the long haul unless you have a large number of pastures. On a terminal cross where you might be buying most of your replacements it is a hard breed to beat.
