History of Breed
The first Tarentaise in North America were imported to Canada in 1972.
A year later they were introduced to the U.S., beginning in the northern plains states and spreading to all corners of the continent with outstanding performance.
The Tarentaise breed's home is in the rugged Savoie region of France, site of the 1992 winter Olympics. They are a pure breed, with a herdbook dating back to 1888.
They are also used as dairy cattle in Equatorial Africa in the Indian sub-continent. Able to adapt from Alps to deserts, dry plains to humid coasts, Tarentaise will perform for you also.
