[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 22591, member: 245"] I have Galloways, Angus, Shorthorns and Highlands in my herd. We're in a black hide market and some of the best money I make are off my Galloway x calves. Galloways come in white, black, dun, and belted. I have blacks and whites. I would recommend them for their hardiness and for the most part there is not the attitude problem than you find with the Angus. They finish very well on grass and eat far less than my Angus and Shorthorns. So far i have crossed them back to Angus and Herefords and both crosses give a nice deep, feed efficient calf. Another producer up here crosses the belties to a black angus bull and I have heard it gives him pure black cattle. The whites look alot like a British White (white with black points) and they get hammered at the auction mart so we usually grass finish those and sell those as freezer beef. I have no idea what your climate is like down there but my cattle winter in the trees and I live in Manitoba, Canada so i wouldn't think it would be much of a problem where you are [/QUOTE]
