DESCRIPTION OF GALLOWAY CATTLE. 



THIS BREED, deriving its name from its native district in Scotland, is 

 black in color, with no white admissible except on the udder or below the 

 imder line. The type represents a form that is thick, close to the ground 

 and symmetrical, with long, wavy and thick coat of hair. As hardiness and 

 strength of constitution are leading features, there should be every indication 

 of general thrift and ruggedness in a representative of the breed.
