What is a British White

The British White is currently considered a rare breed and is one of the oldest breeds of cattle native to Britain. British White cattle were brought to Australia in the 1950’s​.

They are described as follows:

• White coat on blue or dark pigmented skin
• Black points – muzzle, nose, ears, eyelids and lashes, teats of a cow and rudimentary teats of the bull. Ideally animals will have black breach marks
• Legs with a splash of black colour or spots of black colour on the front of each fetlock
• Black hooves and a black tongue is desirable
• Naturally polled – no horns or scurs
• Docile

Some cattle appear with red points.
