Welcome
The
Galloway is one of the oldest and purest of our native cattle
breeds. They are famed for their hardiness and can live off
the poorest of land. The Galloway female is the ideal suckler
cow, and will produce an excellent beefy calf, which is in
great demand by people wanting highest quality, natural grown
beef.
Galloway Cattle
have a great deal to offer and will fit into any system, either
a traditional hill farm or low land farm. Galloway popularity
is growing due to the increased interest in British
Native cattle and environment issues.
We
are delighted to welcome you to our revamped web site.
You will notice the re-introduction of the pedigree search,
there are also some new pages, which include an archive of
reports and Galloway beef, which we hope you find useful.
