[QUOTE="brimmer X, post: 954777, member: 7228"] I experimented with a British White bull several years ago. I like the breed and believe they are good cattle. But, you will take a hit with the calves at the sale barn. It is hard to get that white spotted look or line back out of the offspring. I currently have a 1/4 british white steer now that is going to be butchered, he is colored just like a long horn. I have three heifers that are quarter BW, 2 are brindle colored the other is white with tan ears. All 3 were sired from a Braunvieh bull, and are being retained. The white heifer with tan ears is from a cow that is 1/2 brahman and 1/2 BW. She is good natured and physically the ideal cow. She took the markings of a Red British White. There have been some good comments from various cattleman here, since you want small calves red poll sounds like a good choice. I don't have one, but seem to make a good fit for what you want. IF I had a herd of British Whites cows, I'd consider a Char bull on them. You'd have white cattle with (probably) a black nose and hooves. I think the calves would sell well, and some heifers could be retained. [/QUOTE]
