In regards to the statement " no other cattle breed could survive " , I had a neighbor who bought a holstein cow and calf at auction. He took them home and kept them in his yard , after a few weeks they disappeared. 3 years later hunters began to report sightings of a holstein cow up north along the battle river , he went up to see and it was his cow . Had 3 calves (1,2 and 3 years old) with her. Blind in one eye but otherwise healthy. Winters down to -50 ,no feed or water , found a bull every summer . Did just fine . Don't say that only the chilingham cattle could survive englands relatively mild winters
There are beef producers here in America (where the winters are harsher except in Florida) who have the Mama's wean their calves. Not as uncommon as this guy let on
@@willieclark2256 it has been done here also , but generally speaking the instinct to self wean has been bred out , and if the calves stay on to long then the cow has trouble building their body condition enough for the winter. The old time cows would cut milk production till the calf quit sucking , but now they keep producing till forced to stop
@@willieclark2256 it depends on the operation, here a lot of people aim for a 8-9 hundred pound weaning weight , and sell to a feedlot that will have them finished by 13 months age For that you need a cow that produces high right to the end of grazing . And with our grass only lasting from June to end of August you need a cow that really pumps
We saw them back in 2009 and they are amazing. You can't get near them - they're very dangerous and you need to stay with the ranger in charge - but it was a great privilege to be there. They were safe all through the ravages of disease - foot & mouth and Mad Cow - that swept through the UK a few years ago, thank goodness.
That's not how evolution works. They may be descendants of the auroch, but they have many differences. They're smaller, have less muscle mass, their horns aren't large enough or the right shape, and their sexual dimorphic coloration is gone. They won't revert back to the auroch, as they're technically a different subspecies, with some preserved wild instincts, like that of feral animals, like chickens, for example. Feral chickens look similar to their wild ancestors, yet they're still visually distinct, having different plumage. If these cattle are going to return to an appearance similar to the auroch, they're going to need to continue breeding, and passing on the necessary traits for many hundreds to thousands of successive generations, if natural selection is acted on. They're also going to need an increased gene pool to better sustain them into the future, and grant a higher chance that beneficial mutations are passed accordingly.
JustaDumbFarmer, jose portillo yes, I’m English and I can tell you I wouldn’t mind going head to head with one of these bulls. Just not ding to dong. We’re tough but not that tough. Seriously though, super film, I had no idea these fellows existed.
Although I agree in principle, most would not survive "the wild" in the broader sense owing to their (un)natural predator, man, having developed the firearm. This herd is not just a tourist attraction, but a very good research model with respect to "closed" breeding, so a credit to all involved in its preservation over the centuries. Let us all hope that they will still be there for years to come.
I wonder how genetically similar they are to the extinct aurochs? They look very similar, except for the color, and their horns are identical to those in historical images. The aurochs were around until the 1600s, so it wasn't that long ago.
Aurochs went extinct in England before that but they belong to the cattle breeds most similar to the aurochs but they are not the top 40. But they share a lot of aurochs traits
If they're so healthy & able to survive on very little. Then they can shoukd be protected not only for their own sake. But as a backup to domestic cattle as well.
The Chillingham herd are impressive beasts and together with the Welsh Vaynol breed and the White Park herd probably are derived from the ancient British White breed. The Chillingham herd are most likely examples of this ancient breed which got trapped when the grounds were enclosed. Many modern cattle share characteristics of the extinct wild Aurochs (Ur-Ox = original ox) and are effectively subspecies of the extinct original. They Chillingham herd are impressive to see though. When I was there (a while ago now!) they understandably did not allow you up close to them.
At a certain point inbreeding might be a problem. I'm not sure, but we see this in domestic animals who's stud books are closed. The one think that helps in this situation is that the cattle would be naturally culled, the weak ones would die, if they do indeed survive without interventions. The rule for breeders is the more inbreed your line is, it means that you must also cull more aggressively. I am an out cross breeder myself because I find the harsh culling an unpleasant business, but my type is more varied, that is the price I pay.
Apparently, in-breeding over 800+ years has made them a species, rather than "cattle" They are incredibly tough and the bulls will actually fight to the death, unlike most domestic cattle. Unlike some herds of American Bison, self-entitled idiots with guns are not trying to kill them for entertainment.
There has been a domestic herd left to go wild on a Scottish island that has been left for over 50 years and there instinctive wildness has naturally developed. If humans visit for research the cattle form a ring with the young in the middle for protection. I would like to say life on earth has been around for about 800 million years without influence from man so I dont get why we think we know best in how animals produce . Maybe that little bit of inbreeding is the tusk that grows to 16 ft on an african elephant or the bull sharks capabilities to swim in fresh water. There are so many factors.
Purity reach after 14 generations for the desired traits is normal on nature. Look at how deer or rabbits are marked exactly the same. Those that vary from the exact type that fits an environment die. Very close breeding insure survival and is never a problem as purity removes or purified the undesirable traits out of the gene pool.
@@andylyon3867 You have a good point, through natural selection, weakness in a gene pool is eliminated, but there are thresholds, and research shows that if there are insufficient numbers, characteristics such as fertility and immunity can become problems. Also, with a limited gene pool adaptability suffers if the environment changes.
I remember we had a beautiful red limosine bull and a badly marked smaller Red white head bull and who do you think all of the calves where from? Yes it was the white head only one cow had a limosine calf. It just shows nature servival of strongest.
So exceedingly excellent. Just wondering how this breed could get accustomed to wild predators like wolfs and bears. Is there no island or reserve in the Great British Realm for such a rewilding project?
@@alistairclement4239 When I start T Birds Falconry it would be the first Falconry Centre to bring the First Chillingham White Cattle herd in Derbyshire.
If they're not being hunted any longer, and they have no natural predators, why doesn't the size of the herd just keep increasing until it's beyond the carrying capacity of the land they're on? I would expect that there would be several thousand of them at the estate by now rather than just 100-200.
Genes lost in domestication are lost for ever. But I estimate they would manage in nature as they are now, so they do not need to change. Perhaps a distinct breeding season might be an helpfull addition.
In Estonia we have local breed (Eesti maatõug) with only ca. 200 animals left but thankfully sperm bank started over 50 y ago is saving the breed from worst. Breed couldn't compete more productive breeds being smaller and giving less milk thus having no interest by dairy farmers to keep them. But one small farmer kept 50+ animals semi wild for grazing his lands between bogs only giving hey in winter (we have sometimes-30C in winter) and they coped perfectly on their own with wolves and bears. Only some times there were problems with some more productive cows whose calf couldn't drink all the milk and mastitis occurred. For that he took pigs who learnt to milk cows and as cows having relief from pain invited gladly pigs to milk them. 150 years ago local breed used to be much smaller and with horns but unfortunately different from seen in video they started breeding and mixed it for higher production.
Some previous comments concerned the aurochs, and that was the question I asked myself when I saw the title. So...what do we know of the genetics of these cattle in comparison to that of the aurochs? Surely someone has been looking in to this as the various aurochs projects (and there are several) have gained so much traction lately.
Pygmy aurochs? I've heard that large wild animals often become smaller in isolation, like the last mammoths and the homo erectus who lived on that island in Indonesia.
@@doniellestenson3502 Scottish herd has the same genetics, it was created by moving some of the Chillinham cows there, when the foot and mouth disease threatened the park.
In breeding is not a problem as long as the population is without any serious genetical defects or illnesses. Cheetahs are extremely in bred as a species, yet they are doing fine
They badly need a shot of Ivomec D... They remind me the Magyar alföldi, but smaller, and with shorter horns... Precious stock ! I would feed them all the best stuff !

Greetings from France :-)
@@Effemo58 I'm chagrined ☺, was a Hereford man 50 years ago. All the Charolais around were polled same as angus. (Hmm, Angus may not be naturally polled either) I guess never helping my neighbors with them dehorn them jumped me to that conclusion.
@@ferengiprofiteer9145 Sorry, I didn't want to offend you. I don't really know about "foreign" breed of cows but it seems that there are few breeds in which there are two lines : one line with horns and one line without naturally and maybe the Angus is part of these. Well, the physical difference is easy to make : the naturally poled have a round and smooth top skull then the artificially poled have the "horn socle" (sorry I don't know the right word in English) is still developping and the shape of the sull looks like a non-polled head. My english is not super, I hope you understand what I mean. Greetings :-)
@@Effemo58 We're good my friend. 50 years ago, when I was involved with cattle, charolais were new to my area and it was a polled variety. Not the first time something I knew for a fact turned out not to be true.😉👍
Wild doesn’t mean attack on sight, animals will mind you as long as you mind yourself. He respected they’re space and showed no signs of trying to attack so the Bulls let him off.
@@mainelady01 They are the closest living thing to the Auroch. In Jurassic World 3 they should have a new character called John Hammond Jr and the Hammond Estate filmed at Chillingham Castle in Northumberland amd his fiance is the descendant of the German soldier who planned to bring the Auroch back from extinction during World War Two.
I do no not know the breed...I don't believe that they are a distinct named breed per se. However, my guess would be that they are related to Ancient White Park cattle (a UK breed that was once considered wild as well). We have a few herds of Ancient White Park cattle over here in the states. Look up the Ancient White Park cattle herd at Seed Saver's Exchange in Decorah, IA. The two breeds look similar, but are obviously distinct.
@@loganpyles2276 they are known as Chillingham Cattle since Medieval times when Chillingham Castle was built on the command of William The Conqueror King of England after the Battle Of Hastings in 1066, and was used as a prison under the reign of William's son a cruel and arragont pagan known as Edward The Longshanks who tried to sieze the throne of Scotland for himself.
Am I right in thinking only a "king" bull Bred , or and now the herd is much larger now compared with when I was there in early 70,s when bad winters had reduced numbers other bulls get a look in

Well, the physical difference is easy to make : the naturally poled have a round and smooth top skull then the artificially poled have the "horn socle" (sorry I don't know the right word in English) is still developping and the shape of the sull looks like a non-polled head. My english is not super, I hope you understand what I mean. Greetings :-)
@@Effemo58 We're good my friend. 50 years ago, when I was involved with cattle, charolais were new to my area and it was a polled variety.
Not the first time something I knew for a fact turned out not to be true.😉👍
Where can I buy one of these cows?
I don’t think u can also it’s pretty much a wild animal, it’s not bred for meat or milk so it’s kinda sucky, it’s also very aggressive
If those bulls are really wild then why didn’t they charge at you?
Wild does not mean that they will charge lol and they are clearly visited a lot.
Wild doesn’t mean attack on sight, animals will mind you as long as you mind yourself.
He respected they’re space and showed no signs of trying to attack so the Bulls let him off.
Can you please tell me the weight of males and females chillingham
Bulls weigh 300 to 400 kilograms while Females weigh 200 kilograms
Did he just ding ding battles 😂😂😂😂😂
These remind me of the austeraux (sic?)
Nothing like a good DING DONG battle. Ha ha
Is it just me or they look like aurochs?
Aurochs were bigger by about a foot and most had a dark brown or reddish coat.
@@mainelady01 They are the closest living thing to the Auroch. In Jurassic World 3 they should have a new character called John Hammond Jr and the Hammond Estate filmed at Chillingham Castle in Northumberland amd his fiance is the descendant of the German soldier who planned to bring the Auroch back from extinction during World War Two.
NOPE
just you
The big question is what do they taste like?
Domestic cattle go feral in parts of the U.S. very often.
What breed are these cattle?
I do no not know the breed...I don't believe that they are a distinct named breed per se. However, my guess would be that they are related to Ancient White Park cattle (a UK breed that was once considered wild as well). We have a few herds of Ancient White Park cattle over here in the states. Look up the Ancient White Park cattle herd at Seed Saver's Exchange in Decorah, IA. The two breeds look similar, but are obviously distinct.
@@loganpyles2276 they are known as Chillingham Cattle since Medieval times when Chillingham Castle was built on the command of William The Conqueror King of England after the Battle Of Hastings in 1066, and was used as a prison under the reign of William's son a cruel and arragont pagan known as Edward The Longshanks who tried to sieze the throne of Scotland for himself.
so cool!!
Lol the moo at the end
These are NOT the only wild cattle in the world. Wild herds exist in Australia and New Zealand.
Am I right in thinking only a "king" bull Bred , or and now the herd is much larger now compared with when I was there in early 70,s when bad winters had reduced numbers other bulls get a look in
Their profile look a lot like Aurochs.
