White Park
White Park cattle are an old British horned cattle breed, usually white with black points on the ears, muzzle, feet, and sometimes around the eyes; red-pointed animals also occur in some lines. They are linked with the white cattle once kept in enclosed parks in Britain and Ireland, but they should not be confused with the polled British White, which is managed as a separate breed. Mature animals have a rangy beef type, long horns, and a strong grazing instinct.
Today White Park herds are kept for rare-breed conservation, grass-fed beef, parkland display, and conservation grazing on rough pasture. Their horns require sensible race design, secure fencing, and enough space at feed barriers, especially in mixed herds. The breed is usually managed on forage-based systems, with winter hay or silage where grass stops growing. Because names such as White Park and American White Park can refer to different registry histories, buyers who want breeding stock should check herdbook status, horn type, and ancestry rather than relying on coat color alone.
