We have wanted for a long time to expand our herd so that it is big enough to produce all our own calves. The main problem has been a lack of land to support an expanded herd, but since we gained access to more land this summer, we have recently been looking for the right breeding stock. We found it last week at the farm of Eric and Hannah Noël in Highgate, Vermont. We are very excited to be bringing home 35 beautiful Galloway breeding cows and two bulls. This is a great foundation for our genetics, and a great first step on the way to becoming self-sufficient.
belted Galloways?

A nice heritage breed I see. We started our grassfed beef program with Red Poll cattle just last fall. Good Luck! DrJeff7 http;//heritagebreedsfarm.com
Thanks, you have a very informative web site. Good luck with the Red Poll!
thanks
This is wonderful though I’m a little confused, why does it seem that most of the stock doesn’t appear to have the characteristic belted part of the Galloway?
The belted Galloway is exactly that: a “belted” Galloway as opposed to a “regular” Galloway. Theory has it that the Galloway was crossbred with the Dutch Belted cow to get the characteristic belt that Belted Galloways are known for. The bull in this herd is a British White and looks very similar to the white Galloway cows. The black cows are all pure bred Galloway.
