Belted Galloway Suckler Herd
Our Belted Galloway suckler herd
is grass fed and outdoor reared, producing pure
bred cattle and quality beef sold direct in Surrey.
Belted Galloways are a hardy breed which originate from the exposed uplands of Galloway in south west Scotland. They are well suited to rough grazing, whilst producing nutritionally rich milk for their calves and later converting into lean meat.
Galloways have a double coat to protect them from the elements, a long haired outer coat which sheds the rain and snow and a soft undercoat providing warmth.
Our Galloways are black with the characteristic white belt, which completely encircles the body. In other parts of the UK you might see dun or red Belted Galloways.
We bought 21 pedigree Belted Galloways in spring 2008 (as seen in the above photograph) to increase the herd number. We have 27 breeding cows and heifers and subject to any recent births, we have about 60 Belted Galloways on the farm.
Belted Galloway Beef Box Scheme
A Box Scheme gives you the opportunity to buy the best of British beef direct from the farmer, right here in Wotton. High welfare standards, Farm Assured, full traceability of each animal from farm to fork and low food miles, giving excellent added value to our beef.
We produce high quality Belted Galloway beef whilst taking a whole farm, sustainable approach to healthy food production, maintaining the historical landscape and conserving wildlife habitats.
Our 'Beltie' meat will be hung for 3-4 weeks allowing it to reach it's full potential and ensure that it is full of delicious flavour.
Further information about the box scheme and cuts sold separately can be found on the 'Local Produce' page.
