Temperament:

A late-maturing breed but, once matured, is prized for rapid growth. They are recognized for their calm and friendly temperament and are considered gentle giants.

Performance:

Highly valued for heavy-carcass production and superior meat quality. They are easy to handle and suitable for both small-scale farms and commercial production.
