Originating in southern Scotland’s wild landscapes, the hardy and maternal Galloway delivers beef of the highest quality from low input, low cost farming systems.
The Galloway Cattle Society of Great Britain and Ireland formed in 1877. Our members include farmers and pedigree breeders of Galloway Cattle, as well as people who are passionate about Galloways and wish to support this historic native breed.
Great on Grass
The Galloway excels at producing good beef from grass – and good beef from scrub. It brings hardy, native traits from the past right into the modern market, producing great tasting beef that climate conscious customers can feel good about.
Buy and Sell
There’s growing demand for Galloways right across the UK and Ireland. Shows and sales take place throughout the year. The Society can also help you buy or sell Galloways privately.
Join Us
Open to anyone who wants to support this iconic breed, membership of the Galloway Cattle Society gives you the opportunity to register your cattle, participate in Society events, and connect with like-minded farmers who are passionate about the breed.
