Meat
White Springbok
B tier
White springbok are leucistic or selectively bred pale springbok kept on southern African ranches for visual impact in breeding and tourism. Like black variants, their meat matches common springbok in mildness and leanness. Use identical cookery—rare loins, careful braises for legs. Numbers are smaller; meat appears when breeding herds are culled. Flavour remains clean plains-game rather than a separate culinary species.
