TO THE WESTERN BELTED GALLOWAY ASSOCIATION ~ |
The WBGA established in 1995 is an association of Beltie breeders and producers throughout the 13 western states. The members are dedicated to the production of Belted Galloways and strive to produce Belties of the highest quality for breeding, beef and showing of this fantastic historic breed.
Belted Galloway cattle are thought to be related
to the cattle brought to Great Britain by the Vikings.
They come from the hill country of Dumfries and Galloway
in the southwest of Scotland.
Belties
produce exceptionally lean and flavorful meat. Animals
dress out well in excess of 60% of their live weight. These
medium size animals with their thrift, ability to survive
adverse conditions and produce healthy offspring, earn
their way into any beef herd.
2012 Annual Meeting will be held at the Peppermill in Reno, Nevada
October 5-6
We look forward to seeing you there.
