Breeding Animals

At Mary's Organic Farm,
We strive to be among the "Best of the Best".

We strive to produce registered Belted Galloway breeding stock that are among the "best of the best". All of the offspring are organic. We have a small, but high quality herd of cows that we pasture, breed to an absolutely outstanding bull, resulting in excellent calves and genetics. We believe that proper selection and excellent management results in obvious quality. This picture above gives a good look at what our herd has to offer.

To view pedigrees, click on CLRC , then click on a specific animal's name.
(CLRC stands for Canadian Livestock Records Corporation with which Belted Galloways are registered.)

Although showing our animals competitively isn't our goal, we breed animals that could perform in the show ring as well as in the pasture. Since we strive to feed a predominantly grass diet, our cattle are not "beefed up" on a heavy diet of grain, yet due to their quality and management, they look like they are. We only offer them very small amounts of grain to nurture their trust in people, and to reward them for coming when we call. They are never fed routine antibiotics or given growth hormones to enhance their physiques or soy. Cattle that do not meet our high standards for genetics, disposition, and conformation are culled from the herd and not sold as breeding stock.
