[QUOTE="gallowaygirl, post: 703061, member: 8844"] Good to hear there is another person on here from Western Washington-I am in Skagit County (specifically Bow). I always throw in my Galloway spurt here, that's what we breed. They are fantastic for our area as they have the extra hair which helps with the rain, wind, and wet we have all the time. They are amazing at feed conversion, every winter we are surprised at how little hay our 30 animals actually eat compared to other breeds. They also are SUPER mellow, I can keep mine in a 2 strand hot wire. We had a couple hereford/shorthorn cross cows that we bred to our bulls a couple years ago and they raised nice calves with LOTS of color. Galloways come in a variety of colors (we raise whites, but there are also solids-black, red, dun, and belteds-oreo cookie cows) Here is a link to the website, specifically the breeder listings. [url]http://www.americangalloway.com/members_region.php#west[/url] If you are interested, I am going to our Breeder's Meeting and Show in Billings, MT next week and can get you information on what is currently available in the area. We currently have a solid red bull if you are looking for a bull, but don't have any females this year. Good luck with your herd, whatever breed you end up choosing to use as your cross! [/QUOTE]
