The British White is one of the oldest breeds in Britain and these
animals were previously known as Park cattle. Originating at Whalley Abbey
in mid ? Lancashire, the original herd being dispersed in 1697.
A traditional British Breed, being large, naturally polled dual-purpose
cattle. However in recent years selection has been towards a more beef
producing type whilst retaining all the important characteristics of the
breed.
They are white in colour with black points, extremely docile, hardy and
remarkably free from disease.
British Whites are good milk producers and are equally well known for their
beef qualities, the meat being of excellent texture.
 The
Highland breed has lived for centuries in the rugged remote Scottish
Highlands. The extremely harsh conditions created a process of natural
selection, where only the fittest and most adaptable animals survived to
carry on the breed. Originally there were two distinct classes: the slightly
smaller and usually black Kyloe, whose primary domain was the islands off
the west coast of northern Scotland; the other, a larger animal generally
reddish in color, whose territory was the remote Highlands of Scotland.
