There is evidence to suggest that the British White
breed of
cattle has existed in
England for up to six thousand years. It is an excellent
beef cow, with well-
marbled, low-
fat meat and a calm
disposition.
Interestingly, the British government sent a particularly storied herd of Britsh White cattle to the United States in 1940, for fear that, if England were invaded, the breed would be lost.
