White Lamphun

White Lamphun cattle are a Thai native breed associated with Lamphun province and the wider northern region of Thailand. They have pale white to light cream coats, compact frames, and zebu-influenced bodies suited to heat and humid conditions. Traditionally they were multipurpose village cattle, used for light draft work, meat, and local breeding, and their color made them stand apart from more common brown or gray native cattle in the area.

Smallholders value White Lamphun cattle for modest feed needs and their ability to use crop residues, rough grasses, and mixed farm by-products. They are not high-output dairy animals or fast-finishing feedlot cattle, so realistic expectations matter for buyers outside their home region. Conservation breeding is important because true White Lamphun populations are limited; animals sold as white Thai cattle may be crossbred. Basic management centers on shade, water, mineral supplementation, parasite control, and calm handling, with breeding records used to protect fertility and local adaptation.
