At birth Charolais bull calves will range from 80-100 lbs, heifers will usually weigh around 60-80 lbs at birth.
At birth, a Charolais calf averages around 60 lbs; some more, some less, depending on the birthweight value of the sire and the age of the dam.
That all depends on the breed[s] of either the sire and the dam.Basically, though, if the black bull is Angus, and the white cow is Charolais, then the calf that results will come out grey.
A steer is not born as a steer because a steer is a castrated bull-calf. In other words, a bull calf is born then castrated (or "steered") a few days or months after birth, or right at weaning, depending on the producer. A bull-calf's birth weight depends on its breeding. He can be as small as 30 lbs (miniature cattle) or as large as over 100 lbs (larger breeds like Chianina, Simmental, or Charolais).
That cross does NOT produce a blue calf. This cross will give a GREY or smokey-grey calf, never blue. The resulting cross would simply be called a Char-Angus cross or Angus-Char or Angus-Charolais cross.

That's real easy. Breed the Charolais cow to a Brahman bull and you'll get your F1 Charbray calf. Mind you, it's a 50-50 chance you'll get a heifer (which will "turn into" a cow once she has a calf) over a bull, so you may want to breed the dam until you get a heifer from her, if all she throws is bull calves. Either that or get more than one Charolais cow (preferably over 50) and breed them to the Brahman bull to get your Charbray cattle. Also, Charbrays are actually 5/8 Charolais and 3/8 Brahman, so you might have to breed the F1 offspring back to a Charolais bull to get a true Charbray cow...or bull.

That all depends on the breed[s] and genetics of that bull calf. You can bull calf birth-weights anywhere from 30 lbs (miniature) to over 100 lbs (large breeds).
The average weight of a one-year-old Polled Hereford bull calf is around 600-800 pounds, but individual weights can vary depending on genetics, nutrition, and overall health. It is important to consult with a veterinarian or livestock specialist for specific weight estimates for your calf.

A young male bovine is commonly referred to as a bull calf.
Absolutely!! Murray Grey is such a breed that is comprised of only grey cattle, from a light silver grey, to a deep smokey grey colour. Some cattle may also come in a mousey-grey colour. Not only that, but if you cross a Charolais cow with an Angus bull (or a Charolais bull on an Angus cow), you will always get a grey calf. Even a cross on a Simmental cow with a diluter gene to a Angus bull may result in a grey calf with a white face. There are several crosses that can produce a grey calf, so yes, grey cows (and calves, bulls, steers and heifers) do indeed exist.
