Right now I'm running horned hereford cows, and breeding them Welsh black. Also building up some speckle parks and either breeding them british white or speckle park again. I'm wanting to eventually get a 4 way cross. 1/4 Welsh Black, 1/4 Horned Hereford, 1/4 British White or Speckle Park, and the other quarter i am trying to figure out. Does anyone know how Galloway cattle are? My dad used to have a few on test for just one year at the bull test station he managed and he didnt like them, but a family friend has about 50-100 of them and likes how they cross but says their temperment leaves alot to be desired. The ranch in which we buy our welsh black bulls from has Galloways also and they look like good cows and raise good calves. I'm trying to find a breed that is known for its grass fattening ability. Something that the calves will gain on grass before they are weined, also has alot of hair, and the cows have longevity and dont get too big. I have found that in the herefords, welsh black and british whites, but need something else. Dont want to put any exotic into the cows, cause they are to hard doing for how we run our cows. So any opinions on the Galloways?
