Belted Galloway Cow ('Beltie')

IMGP1421
(Woodchester Park, Stroud, June 2010)

These are probably the result of cross breeding between the Scottish original black Galloway cattle and the Dutch belted cows or Lakenvelder.

The cattle is naturally polled which means they have no horns and the little bumps on their heads where the horns should have been are called scurs.
