Registration

White Galloways do not have pedigree status therefore their registration system is different to that of Belted Galloways. They can however be registered through our Society.

A White Galloway should be of a good Galloway type and conformation and have either black or red ears and feet points, but not too much flecking on the body.

Registered White Galloways, pedigree Red or Black Galloway cattle can be used for the breeding of White Galloways. It's important to note that Belted Galloways, Riggit Galloways and Dun Galloways are not allowed.

To reach full registration (FR) status the following system is in place:

FOUNDATION FEMALES (F)

Foundation females must be of Galloway type, red, black or white and have to be mated to a registered White Galloway bull. The resulting female calves must have black or red points on ears and feet, and not too much flecking on the body. If mated to a pedigree Black or Red Galloway bull, or a registered White Galloway, the female calves are eligible for Appendix A if they are correct White Galloway type.

APPENDIX A FEMALES

Female calves born from Appendix A females AND sired by a pedigree Red or Black Galloway or a registered White Galloway bull, provided they are of White Galloway type, can become Appendix B.

APPENDIX B FEMALES

Female calves born to Appendix B mothers and sired by a pedigree Black or Red Galloway bull or a registered White Galloway bull, of White Galloway conformation and good quality, can become fully registered (FR).

BULLS

Bulls can ONLY be registered from fully registered females and sired by a registered White Galloway bull, or a pedigree Black or Red Galloway bull.

Bulls CANNOT be registered from Foundation, Appendix A or B females.

Before a White Galloway bull can be registered it must be inspected by a member of the Society's bull inspection panel.  This must be arranged through the secretary and costs £50 plus V.A.T. per visit, irrespective of how many bulls are seen.

NB: When completing the registration form, please state the colour of the Galloway used as the sire and dam AND include their Herd Book number/ministry ear tag number on the form. It is not sufficient to put “Galloway”.
