Anybody keep belted Galloway cows there's a lot around here in the mountains
They can be a bit feisty if not handled much

Not many around here. They doc um almost as much as a holstine.

There's a whole herd of them two farms over. Another guy doing the grass fed routine. My alma mater apparently dumped their Horned Hereford herd for Belts. I guess they got a sweet deal from the National Belt Registry. I hope so,they had a pretty good bunch of real life Hereford cows.

They must be doing some sweet deals there are more belts around here the last 3-4 years , I can't say the last time I clapped eyes on a herd of angus

Never seen a red pigment one here. That bull looks pretty good. The cattle you showed seem to have more size than those I've seen stateside.

 

[ajschainsaws]

The red ones are slightly bigger don't know how that came about
As the black belts are smaller about 12 hands

I think there's a Hereford in the woodpile.
