[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 621977, member: 9169"] Tarentaise versus Angus? David vs Goliath. That discussion could be a thread of its own. Angus has better market acceptance, and an assn with lots of money to do breed promotion and they're good at it. Angus probably grade better in general, although in several years of tests sponsored by the Tarentaise assn, the cattle were profitable to feed every year and the majority of them graded choice. Angus in general are thicker made, while Tarentaise are longer bodied in general. (Which is why they cross so well!) Tarentaise have more milk and better udders in general. Tarentaise seem to have better fertility. I've never seen a Tarentaise bull with a lazy prepuce (sp) or an undersized scrotum, and you seem to see that in Angus all the time. Tarentaise in general have good dispositions, I've heard otherwise about Angus. Tarentaise can be black or red and registered in the same assn, while you would have to deal with 2 associations to have both colors of Angus. Whew! That's all I can think of to compare the two breeds. You could look on the ATA web site, [url=http://www.americantarentaise.org]www.americantarentaise.org[/url], for a breeder close to you. [/QUOTE]
