Galloway Beef
What are you Getting?
Our Premium Galloway Beef is a hardy heritage breed that originated in the rugged hills of southwestern Scotland where it is well known for is very distinct taste. Galloway cows grow a shaggy outer layer coat of hair on top of its normal coat allowing it to adapt well to the cold weather and then shed the extra hair in the summer.
The extra coat of hair and grazing habits play a large roll in the growth and marbling of the meat. They require less fat to stay warm during the colder months and can continue to grow on a grass only diet with added minerals. Absolutely no grain is fed to our heard.
"Oreo Cookie" Cow
Galloway Beef has been called the "Oreo Cookie" cow because of its distinctive black coat and thick white stripe that wraps around the entire center.
Different Colors
The dominant color of the Galloway breed is Black. Over the years the "belt" has been bred selectively and even the "red" or "dun" color has become quite popular. Regardless of the quality of the belt or color, the meat is still just as tasty.
Grass Fed and Minerals
Our Galloway cows graze on a diet of Orchard grass, red and white Clover, Alfalfa and other natural grasses found in our pastures. they are also provided year round with an unlimited supply of mixed hay that we make ourselves and purchases as needed from the local farmers. We supplement a variety of minerals from Kraut Creek to ensure there are no deficiencies in their diet.
