CHARACTERISTICS OF BRITISHWHITES

The American British White cow is of moderate size, 1000 to 1500 pounds. Bulls are from

1800 to 2300 pounds. They are smooth polled. Both bulls and cows are

very docile in nature. The cow udders are well set and tight with small black teats. Back lines

are straight and strong with a slight slope to the tail head. The bull’ s scrotums are well shaped

and large in size, a 38 to 42cm circumference in yearling bulls is normal.

British Whites are a breed noted for fertility, calving ease, efficiency and trouble free. They

have a lean and tender carcass with superior milking ability and hardiness.

Another very important characteristic of British Whites is their ability to prosper and excel on

average to poor pasture.
