[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1292746, member: 18682"] I would like to hear from people who have raised galloway cattle. We have raised a number of different breeds and crosses in small numbers- Angus, Simmental, hereford, etc. At this time we have a very nice piedmontese heifer, who is doing quite well. However, I have thought about raising a few extra beef, both for ourselves and for the "grassfed" market which is quite strong in this area. One of the reasons I have an interest in galloway is it sounds like they are a tough -survivor type cattle, and supposed to have good quality beef, and docile temperament. Due to having a climate that can be on the harsh side of things at times thoughts turn towards galloway cattle. I have seen them in pastures, both the small "belties" and the standard type. but never dealt with them, and would like to hear from people who have raised them and others, and hear what they think. In the past I have spoken on the phone to the odd person who has raised them, but of course they raise them, so can only speak good about them. There is some confusion on the size of galloways, the people I spoke to said even the standard type are smaller and slower growing than most other breeds, but the breed standard says differently. Would like to hear comments.. [/QUOTE]
