A breed of hardy, hornless beef cattle originally from the Galloway region of Scotland. Known for their thick, curly coats and ability to thrive in harsh climates.
Named after the historical region of Galloway in southwestern Scotland, from Gaelic Gall-Ghàidheil meaning 'foreign Gaels,' referring to the mixed Norse-Celtic population. The cattle breed took the name of its region of origin.
Galloway cattle are living ambassadors of their Scottish homeland, bred for centuries to survive harsh Highland winters with their distinctive double-layered coats. Their name literally means 'foreign Gaels,' reflecting the complex cultural mixing of Vikings and Celts in medieval Scotland.
