White Park

Large estates were "emparked", enclosed by high fences or walls of stone. This was done to confine and control as many game animals as possible inside the "Parks". White cattle were kept along other game animals. Until 1800, the cattle lived and propagated inside the "Parks" just as they had for 1000's years in the wilderness. White Park cattle were the result of 1500 years of natural selection. Traits of survival, hardiness, fertility, and disease resistance were bred-in and made stronger each generation. As for temperment they are a very docile breed.
