The Charollais Sheep is a breed of domestic sheep from France. It was originated from the east central part of the country (Charolles and Saône-et-Loire), the same region in which the Charollais cattle developed. The breed was developed in the early 1800s. And was developed from a cross between Leicester Longwool with local land-race sheep breeds. The Charollais sheep breed is used mainly as a terminal sire for increasing the muscling and growth rate of the lambs. The rams generally reach maturity within their 7-8 months of age. And the Charollais rams are the second most used terminal sire breeds
