lovely cattle, but British White are naturally polled, so is this photo of a "White Park"?  look very similar apart from the cows horns!!!

Oooh that's the one, top marks ;D
It's gorgeous, but a White Park not British White, (I don't think it is a Chillingham).

Thanks you, how did you find that? Do you know if it is Oone of Dans photos or cattle?

I have always admired them, and if I ever manage to buy some land, I have wanted to keep a couple (British White that is, as I don't want the horns!!!) 

There's some appeared near York... I am so envious!!!

I assume it's a photo from Dan, as Nick said, due to the photo info if you click on it.

They are lovely cattle to keep a little wilful but generally placid, they make great mothers, and tasty beef. I'll see if I can dig out a couple of photos tomorrow

They have them on Greenham Common where I walk my dogs.  Fortunately they're quite docile - the cows that is.

the image shows horns, therfore it is a 'white park cattle' animal

the 2 are often confused with each other.

 ;D Yes those are the ones I meant (used to keep) Robert, but the photo I glimpsed was a White park as Tony says, just didn't have time to see it properly. I dug some photos out today just haven't worked this scanner before :o
