Isn't this a Park White bull?

We have a White Park cow that is 15 years old and will eat ears of corn out of the mouth of my kids. She hasn't missed a calf, had a ton of milk and raises the heaviest calf each year. However her calves don't get banded or tagged until they are a week or two old and her protectiveness has waned. The color genetics are wild with her calf. We have bred her to registered Angus and she has had calves with solid black coloration, traditional baldie coloration and perfect White Park coloration. She also has been bred to registered Hereford and so far has only had calves with traditional red Hereford markings. She is due in the next few days with a Hereford calf so it will be interesting what it's color pattern will be.
 
I was told the Ancient White Park are the ones with horns. The people that raise breeding stock in the US call them British White or American British White and are polled. We bought 3 cross cows that were 1/2 BW, 1/2 Angus. They are calm and very friendly. The white with black tips is very dominate coloring. The calf below is out of the Angus cross cow and bull was a registered black Simmental.1744035865092.jpeg
 
I had a longhorn cow that had the exact markings the bull in question has. As @Warren Allison said, most bucking bulls have some brimmer and longhorn somewhere in the woodpile. Also, bucking bull producers don't introduce something like white park just because they're known to be wild, they breed for known bucking genetics, breed or mix of breeds makes no difference to them. They've got the breeding for ability down just like breeding squirrel dogs or cutting horses or anything else that is bred to perform a certain thing. They breed cows out of known producers to bulls that are known to buck, lots of AI, flushing and embryo transfers in the bucking bull world. The days of a rodeo producer going to the sale barn and buying something he thinks might be rank or buck are pretty well gone, there's too much proven genetics out there for that. Even a lot of what would be considered a cull ABBI bucking bull would probably out perform a bull not bred for that.
