The Herd is being dispersed due to retirement.

Over the years we have selected bloodlines to give a commercial direction to our Galloways, which should give value both in the sale ring or show field.

Full details and Catalogue will be issued in due course, this is a once in a life opportunity to purchase Pedigree Galloways from one of the oldest herds.
