Recently, I've been researching Salers cattle extensively. Finally, I found something that answered nearly all of my questions. The Salers dams and the Charolais sires might be the best plan. The Charolais cows will likely require much more feed/grass to maintain condition while raising a calf than the Salers cows will, especially in rough dry high-altitude (8,000 ft. elevation) land where the grass might be thin and the water might be limited; the Salers cows will likely be able to scratch out a living better than a big Charolais cow. I think this is a very good cross though; the calves in this video are massive... just as I envisioned they would be. I needed this video! Again, this one video, after searching for hours over a period of days, answered nearly all of my questions. I'm assuming the other crossbred cattle in this video were Salers/Shorthorn crosses. They look like they have Shorthorn breeding in them. I think that would be another good cross, as would a good Simmental. I'd use the same strategy though - Salers dams with Shorthorn or Simmental sires. Keep the base cow herd as Salers. Thank you for composing this wonderfully informative video. I appreciate it. After all of the time that I put into researching this breed, one video satisfied my mind.
