Title: Belted Galloway X Highland
Post by: humphreymctush on July 14, 2013, 10:48:55 am

I didnt know what I'd get by crossing a Belted Galloway with a Highland, but the result looks a lot like a Belted Galloway. She was born last night.

Belted Galloway has marbled meat and Highland lean meat!

Does that not defeat the crossing?
