Not only are these cows great mothers and have wonderful full udders, but they are a very beautiful cow as well. They vary in a redish/orange tone, but have what appears to have eye makeup on with a black lined eye and thick eyelashes you can't help but fall in love with them.

• Mature cows have feminine characteristics about the head and neck, with dark eyes, and weigh from 900 to 1300 lbs. 

• The Tarentaise are primarily a dairy breed in their native France, where test performances show average milk production of 10,000 lbs. with high butterfat. 

• Their udders are strongly attached and evenly sloped with finger size teats with dark pigmentation.

• The dark pigmentation found on the Tarentaise offers good protection from sun-related disorders.
