These Wild White cattle are thought to have been at Chillingham since at least the 13th century, when a park wall, enclosing some 1,500 acres [600 ha], was built to corral wild cattle for food.
Arvatakse, et see metsikute valgete veiste kari on olnud Chillinghamis juba vähemalt 13. sajandist alates, mil toiduhankimise hõlbustamiseks ümbritseti 600 hektari suurune lagendik taraga, et sinna veised sulgeda.
