[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1838072, member: 25884"] I knew that there were solid color Galloways... Blacks, Duns and the belted ones... I LIKE the belted ones... and the double hair coat on Galloways is a plus in many ways... good insulation in the winter cold and wetter conditions... helps to cut down on the amount of external fat on a carcass... Same with the Scottish Highland cattle... they also marble good... I have had some of both meat... friends had some Highlands and I had a few Belted Galloways because I liked them... The thing is they are a "niche" breed and if marketed as direct sale beef, can be a good deal... but you have to be in an area where you can market the beef directly. They are a bit smaller so the smaller cuts of beef also are a plus in some markets. I want to get one or 2 again to have for myself... and I have semen in the tank to breed a few too. Considering breeding one of the nurse cows with the semen for a good freezer beef calf... [/QUOTE]
