    Belted Galloways

    Native Breeds need support in the UK.  There are so many wonderful breeds - we should be mindful to look after them or some of them could be gone in a generation.

    Connie, Joe and I got lucky and in the spring we went to see two lovely little Belted Galloway bullocks.  I have heard since that they have learnt the art of escaping and were found the other side of the river in a neighbour's field.  Time for some electric fencing ...??

    Belted Galloways were featured on Countryfile a few weeks ago
