About BeltedGalloway.org
Belted Galloways are thought to be related to the cattle brought to Great Britain by the Vikings. They come from the hill country of Dumfries and Galloway in the southwest of Scotland. These cattle come from the hardiest of stock that from early times were forced to graze and survive in some of the roughest terrain and elements of Scotland. Belties were first imported to the United States in 1939. Mature cows weigh 1100-1300 pounds with bulls at age five in the 1800-2000 pound range.
