Mount William Charolais

Mt William Charolais was founded in 1969 by the late RM Barr Smith. During trips to Britain, France and Mexico RM was impressed with the Charolais breed. In particular he witnessed their ability to handle the dryer climatic conditions in Mexico, where cattle were required to walk long distances to water and survive in harsh conditions. With this in mind RM thought Charolais would adapt well to Australian conditions, and be a great asset to the Australian beef industry.
