Breeding and Management

White Park cattle reach full size at about five years of age, bulls averaging about 955kg in weight and cows 635kg. Heifers are typically put to the bull at 27 months to calve at 3 years old, but this depends on the system of management and climatic conditions. The cattle are very hardy and successfully out winter in low temperatures and wet weather. They are capable of converting coarse herbage into high quality meat, while also capable of gaining weight at over 1 kg per day in good conditions.
