Dinefwr Park has announced that their iconic breed of White Park Cattle is now free of TB after a worrying 18 months under movement restrictions and is calving again due to the addition of a new bull.
As a result of the herd contracting TB in 2012, Dinefwr lost a total of 15 cows and their breeding bull. Lead Ranger and Stockman, Wyn Davies said that the new calf is, “fantastic news for the cattle, for us and for the future of the herd.”
He said, “These animals are the rarest of the rare.” In fact, there are only 1000 registered females left in the world and Dinefwr is their ancestral home, so it’s vital they survive and continue to provide a living link to our distant past.
The first calf of the year was born on June 7 – a bull calf of very good pedigree. The new addition has already attracted a lot of attention amongst ancient breed enthusiasts due to his unusual marking, as he was born with red ears.
