QUOTE FROM A RECENT PURCHASER

“The cattle are as good as you described and they are certainly a credit to the galloway breed for their shapes”

	Gordon of Broadlea, (BN00049) bull born 24/03/04. His sire is Imperial of Corrie by Barfil Bombadier, and his dam is Gardenia 30yth of Broadlea by Glenkiln Zeppelin.
Cows and calves - galloway cattle are excellent for conservation since they thrive on really rough grazing.   They produce a calf a year and live well in to their teens, they are excellent mothers with plenty of milk
They are a good maternal foundation for naturally produced beef.	Galloway heifers - we usually have some for sale - we prefer to sell privately and visitors are welcome

Galloway steers - again we often have some for sale, they are slow to mature BUT the meat is full of flavour and just melts in the mouth - well worth the wait.   While you wait they improve the grazing for sheep by removing the excess roughage.
Erray Galloways helping the National Trust and English Nature on a farm in the Lake District to protect valuable species within an ESA since galloways unlike sheep will graze mature grass which smothers and restricts the growth of young plants.	8
