Belted Galloways are a hardy breed that originated on the exposed uplands of Galloway, in the south west of Scotland.
Colours are black, dun, or red, all with the characteristic white belt, which completely encircles the body. These naturally polled hill cattle are eminently suited for converting rough grazing into lean meat.
Belties
were first imported to the United States in 1939. Mature cows weigh
1100-1300 pounds with bulls at age five in the 1800-2000 pound range.
Belties produce exceptionally lean and flavorful meat.
