The Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, IA has a large herd of Ancient White Park cattle and are very proud of helping to sustain this rare breed. I would contact them, as they are very involved in the project and distribute breeding herds to others working with the breed.

We have a chance to get a 1/2 White Park. I was wanting to know about temperment & beef. They are a multi-purpose (beef & milk), but this is a steer calf.

Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with them?
