Chillingham cattle, also known as Chillingham wild cattle, is a breed of cattle that live in a large enclosed park at Chillingham Castle, Northumberland, England. In summer 2022 the cattle number 138 animals with approximately equal numbers of males and females [1] The herd has remained remarkably genetically isolated for hundreds of years, surviving despite inbreeding depression due to the small population.[2] There is also a small reserve herd of about 20 animals located on Crown Estate land near Fochabers, North East Scotland.[3]
