Encounter with White Parks cattle

On a recent walk along the Ridgeway in Wiltshire, I encountered a rather interesting breed of cattle. So I promptly snapped a few photos, of these rather inquizitive beasts.  It was only after I watched a feature on Sunday's edition of Countryfile that I realised what I photographed: White Parks cattle.

They were incredible big and stocky, and very curious too! Whilst I was snapping away, one of them came right up to me and, ignoring the bush separating us, decided to plough on regardless!

I had a go at a few sketches of this rare breed. Here are my attempts:
