[Prairie_Beef] Galloway's

[Kevin N. Carpenter]

Frank -

Attached is a "Belted Galloway" - one of the most recognizable 
versions.  They come in solid black, brown, tan, red, and white too - 
with black being predominate.

Here is the link where I grabbed the photo:

I'm thinking the solid black would sell better in our primarily Angus 
area, but the belted are eye catchers!  (For cattle at least!).
