Our cows are British White Cattle which are a traditional Beef breed of cattle.  They are directly linked to the ancient indigenous wild white cattle of Great Britain, specifically from Lancashire.  We have 3 female cows.  Two adults and one calf which was born at the beginning of 2024.

During most of the year they are grazing in our fields, however the winter is the best time to see them up close as they are brought into the barn.  This is actually not due to the bad weather for the cows as the rain and cold desn’t bother them  However they can causes the field to become very muddy especially around their hay feeders, this will impede the grass growth for the following year.

While there are a lot of special characteristics about the British White breed, some stand out more than others. These cattle have a moderate body size, with females weighing between 1,000–1,500 pounds and bulls weighing between 1,800–2,300 pounds. Some breeders prefer to crossbreed these cattle because they provide the rare quality of being medium in size while still growing well and producing good-quality meat and dairy.

British Whites are docile in nature with high intelligence. This makes it easy to handle them. They are also relatively trouble-free in that they have few problems with disease. They are also naturally polled, meaning that they don’t have horns and are easier to handle.
