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.
Cik zināms, baltās govis mājo Čilingemā vismaz kopš 13. gadsimta, kad tika uzcelts parka mūris, kas norobežoja ap 600 hektāru platību, lai iežogotu savvaļas govis, ko izmantoja pārtikā.
