The detail
Belted Galloways come from southwest Scotland and are named for the white band around their black, red or dun bodies. They are polled, double-coated and hardy, and finish well on grass for lean, flavorful beef.
What to weigh
They grow more slowly than commercial breeds, and the heavy coat is a burden in hot, humid summers. Belt markings vary, which matters only for show and registration.
