[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 153154, member: 2306"] I'm not sure why you wouldn't see more of 'em in your part of the world, with their hair and hardiness and all. I've seen them crossed with Angus(B & R), Shorthorn, Hereford(H & P), Highland, Welsh Black, Speckled Park, Murray Grey, Limousin, Gelbvieh, Simmental and composites. Every cross I've seen has been impressive. The man who started our direct-marketing network has crossed Galloways, Highlands and Limos for years, and he's got some very impressive cows. He's never griped much about calving problems. The thing about Galloways is they have alot more pelvic area than you might think. There's been research done into measuring pelvic area and I've heard Galloways were among the top 3, but admittedly that is second-hand info. When I took my A.I. course I was still a die-hard Angus man, and of the 15 head we practiced on and everything I've done since, the only thing that had as much room as Galloway cows, were 2 Hays Converters at the course.
