Allotments 4 All

Not sure where to post this, but just caught a glimps of a BW cow photo on the random images, so pretty. Just wondered who's the photo was as use to keep a few of them and I think they are wonderful. Help if you can
Thanks

ps They are a native british animal, fairly rare, a white cow with black points-nose, feet, eyes and ears!

 

   Think you're gonna have to google that one Jayb,  very interesting , can you give us a photo ?

I can dig a photo out and scan it, just wondered who's was the photo I saw on here ;D, I was not quick enough to click on the image before it was gone!

Do you mean this one



One of Dans..

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 think so too, now I get a proper look ;D

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.

Just had a quick browse of the gallery - there are only 60 pages!
This was on page 60 - good job I started backwards!!

Doh, I didn't think to search through, thanks  :)

Are these the things?

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

A couple of photos if, now I have worked the scanner out, 'simples'
