[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 638158, member: 1346"] We have a galloway bull and here in Southeast Mo he does fine. We have hot, humid weather and while many of the cows are in the pond or the creek, he's not. Yes, he's very much like the red polls and can get by on less while maintaining his weight. We've had him 2 1/2 yrs and used him on all the heifers and as a catch all for the late calvers. We are selling him this year because we've retained some of his heifers and have to get something different (I'm already keeping a red poll which will be an outcross for my other red polls and I think he'll be a heifer bull) for the heifers (plus the hubby [b]finally[/b] agreed to let me breed to a charolais bull next year for the aged cows. We have a rainbow herd (different breeds): simmx, charx, holstein/angusx, lim/charx, and we have one red poll x galloway and 2 holstein x galloway (heifers we've kept). They are all solid black with the exception of the charx calves. We haven't eaten any galloway beef (but then I've not had any red poll beef yet either), however, if one of the heifers aren't bred this summer I'm sure they will end up in the freezer. [/QUOTE]
