The society, which was founded in 1921, exists to promote the breed, encourage its development and keep records. It also has registration facilities for White Galloways and Red Galloways.

Belted Galloways are a hardy breed that originated on the exposed uplands of Galloway, in the south west of Scotland.

Colours are black, dun, or red, all with the characteristic white belt, which completely encircles the body. These naturally polled hill cattle are eminently suited for converting rough grazing into lean meat. Their double coat of long hair, to shed the rain, and soft undercoat, for warmth, eliminates the need for expensive housing.

The cows are long living, regular breeders noted for the amount of rich milk they produce, therefore rearing a good calf.

These Blue Greys and the pure bred cows cross well with Continental sires, such as Charolais, Simmental, Limousin and Salers.
