The Galloway cattle have been enjoying our early spring weather, at their home on Willow-Mor Farm, north of Devlin. This shaggy breed is known for its hardiness. It’s one of the oldest domesticated breeds of cattle, originating in the Galloway region of Scotland in the 17th century. They were first imported to Canada in 1853. Their popularity has grown in recent years, because their thick coats are not only cute, they eliminate the need for a thick fat layer to stay warm in northern climates, making them a lean and efficient beef breed.
