[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 641570, member: 1346"] Sorry for the delay in responding. The majority of the calves do not have long hair (80%). They all seem to shed out in spring/summer. They do seem to have a coarser hair though. I had a lengthy response all typed up and my post is lost in cyberspace somewhere. I believe we will see the economic advantage in moderate framed cows and maternal qualities. Prior to getting married in 2006 my hubby had always used black angus bulls. I am not a black angus lover and wanted something different and galloway is definitely in the minority in this area. The calves are black (except from charolais cows) and sell comparable. Their growth is comparable to other english breeds. When crossed to continental or holstein then you have better growth, weaning weights (of course). Galloways and Red Polls seem to go well for grass fed so maybe that's why the galloway impresses me (as I am really impressed with red poll). I truly believe within the next 5-7 years you will see tenderness more of a grading factor than marbling. they have come a long way in the tenderness gene and I think more selection traits will be heading that way, IMHO.
