[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1292855, member: 18682"] I can see a possible "can of worms" being opened galloway vs Angus,, I have seen VERY nice angus, but MY OPINION, is that the angus became so popular through intense marketing by famous- rich people such as past USA presidents / oil barons etc lots of dollars thrown at the breed marketing.The angus has its drawbacks which I could mention, but that is not the purpose of this thread to run down angus. I am interested in the potential of galloways for my situation. For instance in this area Herefords are lower on popularity because the butches don't want to pay for their heavy hide, yet they can withstand the cold climate better than some other breeds. The Highlands can withstand the cold, but many of the ones that i have seen, under all that hair they are seriously lacking in meat on the body. Angus are tough, but a decent amount have serious "attitude", and take out fences ,and are lacking on the volume of beef on the the body and butt, and I could go on and on about the different breeds. Anyways, I have been told that Galloway are slow growers and finish small, but from what I am hearing they are like a bit of a tank on legs. What kind of temperament do they have. To me temperament is very important. I realize each animal is different , but across the board what are they like?? [/QUOTE]
