General Characteristics of Belties

It is claimed that Belted Galloways are larger, milk heavier, and grow more rapidly than the parental breed. The distinctive white belt found in Belted Galloways often varies somewhat in width and regularity but usually covers most of the body from the shoulders to the hooks. The white contrast to the black coat, which may have a brownish tinge in the summer, sets the breed apart with its striking color pattern. The fore part of the udder may be within the white belt. Because of this distinctive look the cattle are also called as "Oreo cookie cows".

Galloways are also distinctive because they are gentle by nature and make excellent companions. Best of all, Galloway meat is lean with lower fat and cholesterol; and it's tasty as well!
