[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4895"] I've never had any Galloways but have heard that they can make pretty good momma cows, though you may sacrafice a bit in growth of the calves. So, a good Simmental/Galloway should be a keeper. However, ask to see the calving records of the dams of these heifers. If they aren't weaning a heavy calf EVERY year or it is taking longer than a year between calvings, I'd look elsewhere for heifers. Breeding these heifers to a Red Angus will give you 75% British/25% Continental calves. This is a good blend for producing high grading calves that should still yield better than straight Galloways or Angus. > I have the opportunity to purchase > three gallowayXsimmental heifers > at a good price.
