Web Link Canadian Galloway Association

The Canadian Galloway Association is the national governing body responsible for Breed Improvement, Breed Advancement, and Breed Promotion. Galloway breeds have been proven to be superior feed converters. Beef Quality is one of the most important breed characteristics of all Galloway breeds. The beef is lean yet well marbled. Because of the Galloway double hair coat, carcasses do not have the extra layer of back fat common to many other breeds. Galloways dress out at 60% to 62% of live weight. The double hair coat found on all Galloways need less feed to maintain good body condition. Their ability to digest the less desirable species of flora means Galloways will thrive in less than ideal conditions.
