Hey there. Thanks for your video. We are two years in to having Belted Galloways on our little homestead & our experience is similar to yours. They are a great animal to breed. Great mothers with a good milk supply, easier breeding & calving than traditional breeds. They do really well on poor pastures & are winter hardy with their double coat. Their meat is naturally marbled on pasture. They do take about 6 to 8 month longer to grow out compared to commercial cattle. They are long lived, train easily to halter, remain gentle & are pleasing to the eye. All in all a great doer. 👍🏼🍻
Hi there, Really enjoyed your description of the Belties. They are a great breed of cattle for homesteading. Will have to watch some more of your videos. Thanks Rob. 🍻
We Raise Belted Galloways on our place RZL Farms in NE Iowa. Could not ask for better temperment and easy going. Can handle cold winters and rainiy seasons without issue. Feed Coversion is great they can graze pasture and rough ground and definitely gain weight. Downside is they take longer to top out in weight around 6 months longer. I'm happy with the breed and recommned to anyone starting out or wants a small herd on their property.

Great breed, but be careful. They are little escape artist and will test your fences.

I love the breed, but they test every fence I've got.
Grassfed beltie beef is very healthy.
