It is with much regret that we inform members and friends of the passing of Margaret Fergusson, Barlaes, Dalry, Castle Douglas. Margaret had a long life association  with Galloways being involved with the Mochrum , Barlaes and Nether Rusko herds. She will be sorely missed.

Quality over quantity was the order of the day at an unusually dreich and damp Great Yorkshire Show.

Notice is hereby given that the Hybrid Annual General Meeting of the
Society will be held in the Board Room, Harrison and Hetherington Ltd,

Heifers were keenly bid for at the Society’s show and sale at Harrison and Hetherington’s Carlisle Mart, the champion female - Barlaes Katie 100th from Robert McTurk, Barlaes, Dalry, Castle Douglas made the top price of the day of 3000gns, this Troloss Magnum daughter and out of Barlaes Katie 41st sold to Robbie Galloway, Cardona, Doune, Stirling for his 24 head herd.

Andrew Tullie is the seventh generation of his family to farm at Bowanhill, Teviothead, near Hawick. The family have been tenants of the Buccleuch Estate since 1845 - almost 150 of them at Bowanhill - and for a large part of that time the herd of Galloways has been a mainstay of the business.

Galloway cattle have always been kept at Greenwell. They are now and have always been the perfect beast to graze the commons of Dartmoor and convert that rough diverse grazing into beef.
