In this episode of Lil Hooves, we’re taking a closer look at one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable breeds out there—the Belted Galloway. With their striking “Oreo cookie” look, these cattle turn heads, but there’s a lot more to them than their signature stripe.We dive into their roots in the rugged hills of Scotland, explore how they’re connected (or not!) to traditional Galloways and the Dutch Belted breed, and unpack the unique qualities that make them so well-loved by small family farms—think hardiness, easy calving, and grass efficiency.Plus, how did these beautiful cows make their way into the miniature cattle world? We trace the path from heritage breed to homestead favorite, and what you should know if you’re considering adding a mini Beltie to your herd.Whether you're into cattle genetics, breed history, or just obsessed with adorable fluffy cows—this one's for you!
