About Galloway
Galloway cattle are a hardy Scottish breed known for their thick, curly double coat that insulates them in harsh winter conditions. The Belted Galloway, with its distinctive white belt around the midsection, is the most recognizable variant. Galloways produce lean, well-marbled beef and are excellent for grass-fed operations, thriving on rough pastures with minimal inputs.
