type should be polled and absolutely free from scurs, or abortive 

 horns, the poll being less peaked than in the Aberdeen-Angus. 

 There should be strong breadth between the eyes, with shortness 

 from eyes to end of muzzle, which should be large with ample 

 nostrils. Wallace, the Scotch author, states that the ear is set 

 rather farther back than in most breeds and should point upward

and forward. A fine, broad, pointed ear covered with long hair is 

 characteristic. The body of the Galloway is somewhat cylindrical 

 and has considerable length. The rump is long, and the hind 

 quarter is usually well developed, especially in the lower thigh. 

 In quality the breed is superior, for the bone is reasonably fine, 

 the skin mellow, and the hair very fine, silky, curly, and long. 

 The color is generally black, though a brownish or reddish tint 

 frequently occurs in the black and is regarded by some as an 

 indication of purity. White or other color is a disqualification.
