For long time the Galloway breed
of cattle has been one of the most valu-
ed in the United Kingdom. Thanks to
few of our leading importers many OF
our own stockmen are being educated
up to the English standpoint and are
fast stocking their farms and ranges
with the hardy animals. Our young
beginners need not think they are try
ing a new venture when they try the
breed and cross. On good authority we
learn that the GallOways were hOrnless
one hundred and fifty years ago. From
the remotest times Galloways prevailed
extensively in several counties in Scot
land, where they first originated, also in
some of the adjacent counties In Eng
land. As far back as one hundred years
ago English graders were partial to the
Galloway cattle and thousands were
annually sent from Scotland to England
to tempt the appetite of John Bull and
divide the honors with their well
known luscious legs of Southdown NUT
ton. Butchers in the English lrarket
recognize the fact that the Gal,oways
Law on fat in the most valuable parts,
that the meat is well marbled or mixed
with fat, and that the Galloway rib
is the one most inquired after and first
sold. Their long thick hair is no doubt
due to the climate where they have been
reared, che northeast of Scotland. The
transition of our Montana climate is
not great, and there is no doubt but
what this hardy breed will thrive and
multiply here as well as in their own
Highland hills. Their fixity of charac-
ter is so great that they transmit their
distinguishing feature with great uni,
formity. The first cross viii in nearly
every instance produce an animal black
hardy and hornless, and what is quite
as important, one in demand and sale
