Our first Galloway heifer calf of the year from a first time mum. She is a dun - same as the smaller bull we used on our heifers.

Had to look twice, the first picture makes her look like the pile of long hair I just clipped off my gray brindle dog!

What a cute calf. Congrats on a heifer and no problems with the birth!

Shaggy coat - thats the beauty of Galloways with having 2 coats, an insulating one and a long haired one to keep out the rain and snow. Saves them having to put on a layer of fat in the winter. Same with Highlands.
As for the colour she is slate grey at the mo but will turn a nice dark dun in a couple of weeks time

Beautiful! I was told that Galloways are dual propuse cattle. Is that true? They are beautiful.

Not really - they are one of only a few original beef breed who provide plenty of milk for their calf but I'm sure there would be enough milk for small daily useage if you can fight the calf off
