White Galloways

The White Galloway

White Galloways are a recent addition to the Galloway family. They are an attractive and beneficial cousin but they do contain genetics that are not Galloway and they have little recorded history. All the White Galloways in New Zealand, Australia, the USA and virtually all in Canada trace to Montana, USA not Galloway, Scotland. The population could have started as early as 1912.

​The Bishir family’s oral tradition is that a ‘white park’ colour patterned female was purchased and bred to a black Galloway, her white park colour patterned, polled, long haired Galloway cross descendants were kept. No records or ancestry documentation were kept until after Jim Airth, Walking A Ranches, purchased a long haired, polled, white park patterned female in 1966 from the Bishir’s son-in-law. White Gallo- ways were first registered in USA in 1970, UK 1981, Canada 1990 and with the NZ Galloway Cattle society in 1994.

Why Choose The Galloway Breed?

  • Galloways have great adaptability to the varying conditions of altitude, topography, climate, nutrition and management.
  • Galloways have the resilience to cope with feed shortages and to recover quickly from drought and harsh winter conditions.
  • They are easy calving cattle.
  • The Galloway calves grow rapidly and efficiently on pasture or in a feedlot.
  • The Galloway dams are well known for their fertility, hardiness and proven ability to get in calf quickly and consistently.
  • The Galloway dams are good foragers, with a long life span and constant production. 
  • The beef consistently achieves more desirable results in carcass quality determinants such as fat depth, meat colour and pH assuring a tastier and more tender product.
