Charolais-sired Smokies Increase Profit.
reports prove
Charolais-sired Smokies
consistently top the market.
More pounds and a
premium price paid per
hundred weight increases
profit for the commercial
cow-calf producer.
Charolais-cross Smokies
enter the feedlot sooner and realize heavier and
more efficient gains. This results in earlier marketing
and added profits for producers.
