AN ANTIQUE FRENCH AGRICULTURAL SHOW 1964 RACE TARENTAISE 1e CLASSE 
MOUTIERS (in the Savoie region)

Tarentaise cattle descend from the domestic cattle of the Tarentaise valley in France where they were isolated from other breeds for many thousands of years. The cattle adapted in such a way as to allow them to exist in high altitudes and be able to range in very steep and rough terrain to forage. They are used in France today to produce the cheese with a distinct flavor that comes from the high alpine villages of the Tarentaise, Beaufortain and Maurienne valley.
