White Galloway

White Galloway is a white color variety within the Galloway cattle family of southwest Scotland. It shares the Galloway's naturally polled head, moderate frame, dense double coat, and beef orientation, but has a white body with colored points, commonly black, red, or dun on the ears, muzzle, feet, and around the eyes. It should not be confused with Belted Galloway, which has a solid body color and a white belt, or with British White cattle, a separate breed with its own history.

White Galloways are kept for grass-based beef, native-breed herds, and low-input grazing where hardy cattle can use rough or wet pasture. The thick coat reduces the need for heavy winter housing in suitable climates, though shelter, dry lying areas, and adequate forage still matter. Cows are commonly selected for calving ease, maternal behavior, sound udders, and quiet handling. Registries may record White Galloways as a color section or variety of Galloway, so buyers interested in breeding should check point color, pedigree rules, and whether stock meets the relevant association standard.
