BRITISH WHITE CATTLE 

      

       Inviting everyone to take a look at the ancient British White cattle breed and see what's happening here at this Southeast Texas ranch.    
       For both the seedstock and commercial rancher, the polled British White gives all you can ask in carcass traits, feed efficiency, fertility, calving ease, hardiness, gentleness, and more, along with greater heat tolerance. 
     The British White breed is a uniquely beautiful and very ancient cattle breed with a noble heritage in the British Isles dating back thousands of years, where we find them revered and magified in old oral Celtic tales, customs, and laws. . . long before the advent of the written word.
     The special nature and qualities of the polled British White have been preserved for enjoyment today by both the breeder and the consumer of finely marbled and tender British White beef.

And this Fiachaidh was treacherously slain by the rustic tribes of Ireland.” (The History of Ireland  ;BOOK I-II, Section 38; Page 237; Author: Geoffrey Keating) 

         All Cattle Bred & Reared at J.West Cattle Company are registerable with either the ABWPA or the BWCAA . . . .  and we hope to see the re-joining of the two breed associations in the coming years, a win-win for everyone in this 21st century.  The feud of the late 90's has lasted quite long enough -- the cattle all go back to the same stock.  The UK mother org for the breed has long since recognized that . . .
