[QUOTE="docgraybull, post: 343695, member: 885"] I have two Galloway bulls and have just started calving out the third crop of calves this Spring. The bulls are very docile and extremely easy keepers in the Winter. I'm in NE Oklahoma and it was quite hot and dry this past Summer and they did not do as well then, but we've had some hard freezes and ice storms and they are fat and happy now, on fair to poor hay and minimal protein supplement. They are smaller framed, but have good bone structure. They're aggressive breeders. The calves are born small to moderate (no big ones yet, and no assisted deliveries yet) and have been easy keepers. They're cute little hairballs too. Weaning weights were slightly lower than my Angus sired calves though (Spring calves sold in the Fall. The Fall calves seem to be even or a little ahead currently-will see after weaning this Spring). I did not notice any dock due to the hair. Have not tasted one yet, but will keep a steer this Spring from the Fall crop and plan to butcher him early next Winter. [/QUOTE]
