Hardiness & Lower Feed Costs More hair – how about 2 hair coats Researchers at Montana State University

estimate beef cows with hair coats just one inch thicker consume 20% to 25% less feed in order to maintain body weight when the weather is cold

Cattle with more hair will winter graze more days

Superior Foraging Ability

Studies conducted by Mols Laboratory of Denmark have demonstrated that of all breeds tested, the Galloway breeds consume more varieties of flora than any of the others breeds on test. This ability to digest the less desirable species of flora means Galloways will thrive in less than ideal conditions.

Evaluated at the U.S Meat Animal Research Center Clay Center, Nebraska

Galloways were stabilized 300-400 years ago for local butcher shops in Scotland for their fine textured, juicy, high quality meat

Among 11 other breeds, Galloway’s ranked: 1st in Flavor 2nd in Tenderness 2nd in Juiciness
