Belted Galloway

Belted Galloways, often called “Belties,” were imported to North America, starting in the 1940s. Their most common color is black with a white belt, but they are also found in a red and grayish-brown color with a white belt. Their hardiness, gentle temperament, and attractive coloring make them a favorite for beginner farmers.
