Marian is a Belted Galloway and should have ended up as a slaughter bull. Belted Galloways have a long-haired coat consisting of a dense undercoat and a long wavy outer coat. As they store their heat mainly through the two layers of fur and not through fat, they have comparatively lean meat. The cattle are characterized by the fact that they can also be kept on pastures that other breeds would reject and still produce high-quality meat on grass alone. These wonderful Galloways can live up to 20 years. We will do our best to ensure that Marian can reach at least this age in species-appropriate husbandry without stress.
