Galloway Cattle Society Announces New Leadership Team

The Galloway Cattle Society is excited to introduce its new leadership team. With a mix of experience and fresh ideas, this team is well-placed to honour the breed’s proud heritage while looking ahead to the future. It’s especially encouraging to see a new generation of young leaders stepping up alongside long-standing advocates of the breed—proof that the future of Galloways is in good hands.

 Important Update for Members – Registration Fees 

Further to Our Recent Announcement - Following a meeting of the Executive Committee, a grace period has been granted until 30th June 2025 to allow members to register cattle at the lower rate.

From 1st July 2025, all fees and age brackets will be strictly applied, and the current fee structure will be enforced without exception.

The Exmoor Forest Estate is centered around the small village of Simonsbath in the heart of the Exmoor National Park. Originally a Royal hunting forest from Saxon times it encompassed some 20,000 acres of wild exposed moorland.

Low-input, sustainable Galloway cattle have been the backbone of the livestock system at Hotbank Farm, near Bardon Mill in Northumberland for almost 100 years.

In the Spring 2025 Newsletter from the Galloway Cattle Society you’ll find updates on what’s been happening, a look at upcoming events, news on the on-farm herd competition, AGM notice, World Congress and 150th anniversary celebrations, plus new information about the Journal and registering calves.
