Snohomish rancher raises an ancient breed of cattle

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When you see Burt DeGroot’s cows for the first time, you might feel like you’re visiting a zoo. You’re not that far off.

DeGroot, of Snohomish, owns a rare breed of cattle. Ancient white park cattle are known for their distinctive appearance and grazing preference.

Ancient white park cattle have been documented in Great Britain since the 13th century. In fact, there are still several herds roaming the British Isles that date from that time. Descriptions of their distinctive white coats and U-shaped horns pop up in historical documents.

Their island-based origin isolated the cattle, therefore making them more genetically distinct than other heritage breeds. The wild cattle had “park” added to their name when they were fenced in, or “emparked,” by Henry III.
