Finely marbled, rich and succulent, Galloway beef is naturally delicious and is ideal for people seeking high quality red meat from sustainable, pasture-based systems with high animal welfare.
Galloway beef is known for its tender, fine texture and good marbling, which gives the meat excellent flavour. It’s thought that the exceptional marbling in Galloway beef is caused by the unusual coat of the breed. Galloways have a thick, double-layered wavy coat and this insulates the cattle so well that they only need a minimal outer layer of fat.
The Galloway breed can finish naturally and easily on a grass or pasture fed system, and the resulting beef tends to be high in protein, minerals and antioxidants, and it tends to have a favourable Omega 6:3 ratio.

Market Development
The Galloway Cattle Society sees huge potential for the Galloway in food system that increasingly favours sustainable production. The Galloway breed is a great option for people seeking red meat from sustainable, pasture-based systems with high animal welfare. With that market set to grow, it’s no wonder more and more farmers are looking to the Galloway as the ideal native breed.
We continue to work hard to create new opportunities for our members, and our priorities are informed by the shared ambitions of our membership. This includes marketing and promotion of the Galloway breed, highlighting their low input nature and positive environmental attributes, and market development for the Galloway, including supply chain development, across the UK and Ireland.
