    I swear Graeme this was like watching a documentary. It was SO lovely. The production quality was amazing. You should produce for television. I could have watched an hour long show on this incredible castle and the women who lovingly raised and raise these belted cattle. Thank you for bringing me on a beautiful journey. ✨

    Seeing the cows from far away: "Ooo, big stripies and little stripies!"
    Seeing them up close: "OMG their coat is curly!!!" 🤩😍
    Those are some of the prettiest cows I've ever seen and clearly well cared for. I couldn't imagine a more beautiful place to live. Breathtaking!

    This video... having a big old cry here in Queensland, Australia. I lost my pet steer Woodford about 18 months ago at age 12, 10 days off 13 years. Belted Galloways are just amazing. I could have a sleep on Woodford, spend hours brushing him. He was the best. It broke my heart to see him put to sleep with a broken hip. I swore to never get another because no one could compare. Well you changed that, no life is the same without a beltie ❤

    I could seriously see you doing documentaries in addition to your hoof trimming work. No doubt many others recognize these many skills of yours as well.
    Keep up the good work, Graeme!
    All the best to you and blessings over your household and all of your loved ones.

    These are by far, in my opinion, the most unique, most beautiful, and pretty much most or best in every other way, out of all cattle breeds. I just love them. ❤ I’d love if I could have a few here, but Louisiana is really just way too warm of a climate for them. They’d just be big ole pets anyway. But I’d dearly love walking out onto the porch every morning and seeing these beauties first thing. I’ll bet it’s impossible to have a bad day if you’re waking up to them. 💝💝💝

    Living in the middle of the United States (Iowa), I can confirm the nickname! Just a few days ago we were driving past a local farm that keeps 3 of these beautiful cows, and our very excited 4 year old spotted them and yelled out, "LOOK AT THOSE OREO COWS, DADDY!!!" 😂 (Some things seem never to change, and this one I'm rather glad of!)
    I never knew they had curly coats until just now, though! That's pretty awesome!

The cows and countryside are beautiful! Thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson and seeing the old tack room. Another “do you know what they call these in America?” I picked up on was rosettes....we call those ribbons!

  • @carolynjtoday

    My father refers to these cows as "Collingwood Cows" because his favourite AFL (Aussie Rules) team is Collingwood and they wear a black and white striped jersey (or strip) so I grew up calling them Collingwood cows. The trend has continued with my son also now calling them Collingwood cows too. No, we have no association with farming at all but I live in a dairy (and beef) area in NSW, Australia so see a lot of these girls. Btw love this channel, thank Graeme for making the world a better place.

    Thanks for suggesting this video. Love the history, the land. The Galloways are beautiful.
