American
Galloway Breeders Association |
|
| |
| |
In 1882,
during the Fat Stock Show in Chicago, Galloway breeders formed the
first Galloway registry in the United States. The Galloway is one
of the world's oldest beef breeds, the descendant of two distinct
aboriginal breeds of Scotland. |

Australian
Galloway Association |
|
| |
| |
In Australia
there is evidence of Galloways being here as early as 1858, when
Galloways were shown at the Port Phillip Farmers Society Show. However
it wasn't until 1951, after the importation of Galloways from Scotland,
that a registering body was formed. |
