Tarentaise (pronounced TAIR en taze) has proven to be the perfect 'other' breed for many progressive cattlemen in both crossbred and purebred environments.Tarentaise isn't a 'one-trait' breed. It's a thrifty beef breed, balanced for optimum commercial performance from conception to dinner plate.

Tarentaise is a pure breed from France, with a herd book dating back to 1888.

You have many options with Tarentaise.  You can market purebreds for seedstock, and crossbreds for cow-calf producers, for recipient cows, or stocker-feeder and freezer beef. Tarentaise cattle will give you the freedom to profit in any or all of these market segments.
