I've never seen a Galloway in this country that looks anything like your bull. I'm not saying they don't exist but all the ones I've seen are cute and fluffy and marketed for small acreage.

All the best with promoting the Galloway breed as a viable commercial option. What attributes do you see the Galloway genetics offering the commercial cattleman that mainstream breeds like Angus and hereford can't already give them?

Then again if I had a large field full of those..... I wouldn't care 'cause they'd probably wean a high percent of body weight no matter how much they weigh.
