Hello, first-time poster here. My name is Brianna and I raised Belted Galloway for most of my childhood. The herd I worked so hard to take care of and maintain was sold in 2015 at an auction barn without my knowledge. This was, of course, a second-hand sale. I sold them to my grandfather when I went to college, he sold them to a family who promised to take care of them and when the family couldn't pay for a ranch, instead of selling them back to my grandfather who had offered more than what they'd originally paid for, they took them to a sale barn. My family has not told me this feeling that ignorance was bliss and it was for awhile but now I want to know that they are alright. The sale barn is in Fort Collins, CO, Centennial Livestock Auctions I believe and the herd was fairly large for novelty cattle, I am trying to get in touch with the sale barn as well. To my knowledge, the registered cattle have not appeared anywhere in the Belted Galloway association. They were all tattooed and some were purebred as well. I know this is a long shot and will probably return nothing but after all my work and childhood spent on these cows, I can't let this rest knowing I didn't do everything I could to find them. Anything helps, information, contacts or rumors, thank you all for reading! Have a good day.
