Which breed of cattle is known for its beef production quality and originated in France?

Angus
Hereford
Charolais
Shorthorn

The correct answer is: Charolais

The breed of cattle widely recognized for its exceptional beef production quality and that originated in France is Charolais. Charolais cattle are known for their muscular build and high yield of lean, high-quality meat, making them highly desirable in the beef industry. The breed has a distinct cream-white color and is often crossed with other breeds to enhance the quality of beef production. Angus, while also a prominent breed known for its beef quality, originated in Scotland, not France. Hereford, another well-regarded beef breed, has its roots in England, and Shorthorn is similarly an English breed, known for versatility in both dairy and beef production. Each of these breeds has its merits, but Charolais is specifically noted for its origins in France and its strong emphasis on producing high-quality beef.
