The bull is a graph consisting of a triangle and two vertex‐disjoint pendant edges. A graph is called bull‐free if no induced subgraph of it is a bull. A graph G is perfect if for every induced subgraph H of G , the chromatic number of H equals the size of the largest complete subgraph of H . This article describes the structure of all bull‐free perfect graphs.
