Branguscowgirl a good question. Tarentaise are indeed a sexually dimorphic breed as you noted. The bulls develop the black coloring as they mature and the cow remain the light red to tan color. The cows typically only have the black points. The odd cow will have more black on the head and lower legs but not near as color differentiated as the mature bulls. I appreciate the distraction. ;-)
