Galloway
Quick Summary
The Galloway is a breed of hardy, medium-sized beef cattle that originated in southwestern Scotland. These cattle are distinguished by their curly black hair and are naturally hornless. While they haven't reached the prominence of some other beef breeds, Galloways have been valuable in producing blue-gray crossbred cattle when bred with Shorthorn bulls. The breed's native region, Galloway, is a traditional area in southwestern Scotland known for its pastoral economy, including dairy farming of these indigenous cattle. A variation, the Belted Galloway, is similar but features a distinctive white band around its body.1234
