Our Cows

Meet the current heifers and young cows in our breeding program. At Idlehour, each cow is registered with the American Galloway Breeders Association as a pureblood Galloway. The entire lineage of her pedigree is traceable to pure Galloway, not just seven generations back. These cows all come from our own closed herd and were calved by us, so there are no surprises in their history or their genetics.

Holsteins are one of the most common and recognizable dairy cow breeds. They are known for their exceptional milk production, making them highly valued in the dairy industry. Holsteins have a black-and-white or red-and-white color pattern, with large, sturdy frames and a distinctive wedge-shaped body. They typically have long, broad faces and straight horns, although polled (hornless) Holsteins also exist. Their focus is primarily on milk production rather than meat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Raising Miniature Galloways offers several advantages. Their small size makes them easier to handle and requires less land than larger breeds. They are known for their docile temperament, making them suitable for small or hobby farms. Miniature Galloways are efficient converters of forage into meat and produce high-quality beef.

Caring for Miniature Galloways involves proper nutrition, access to clean water, and shelter. They should have access to pasture for grazing, supplemented with hay or other forage during winter or when pasture quality is low. Regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and parasite control are essential to maintaining health.

While Miniature Galloways are primarily raised for beef production, some individuals may be able to produce small amounts of milk. However, they are not typically bred or selected for milk production, so their milk yield is significantly lower than dairy breeds.
