Entries Now Open – Galloway Classes at the 2025 Royal Highland Show
As entries open for the 2025 Royal Highland Show, the Galloway Cattle Society is delighted to share an exciting update!
To ensure a fairer competition, the heifer class has been split into two separate classes, making it easier for younger cattle to compete against those of a similar age. This adjustment will enhance competition, increase entries, and further showcase the exceptional quality of Galloway breeding.
