Newly Imported Galloway Cattle Becoming Popular

Two further herds of Galloway cattle have been established in the South Island where they should find a natural environment. One of these studs comprises Black Galloways and the other Belted Galloways, foundation cattle for which were imported direct from leading Scottish herds by Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Co. Ltd. It is intended to maintain and, develop the stud at a South Island farm but the majority of the bulls bred in the stud will be used to build up the breeding herd at Mt. Nicholas Station, Queenstown. This importation comprises a lot of magnificent representatives of this noted Scottish breed. The selection was arranged by Mr C. E. Robertson during his visit to Scotland, when he was taken round the leading herds in that country by two of the famous judges of the breed, Messrs J. Foed Sproat and William Hamilton, both of whom were judges at the Highland Show. This is the first importation of Galloway cattle to go to Otago. The importation from Scotland of a magnificent lot of Belted Galloway cattle to comprise the foundation herd in Southland, was made for Mr Noel McGregor for his well known Mt. Linton Station in the Nightcaps district. This shipment comprises an outstanding yearling bull in Boreland Aristocrat and seven in calf heifers, four of them from the Boreland Stud which is the oldest and most widely known stud in Scotland- today. The Wairarapa breeder, Mr lan G. Donald, who was the foundation importer of Belted Galloways lo the Dominion, also took the opportunity while Mr Robertson was visiting Scotland, to make further additions to his stud, a notable heifer in Scatwell Rose being secured from the Boreland Stud, and two rising yearling heifers of very high standard were also selected from the Roberton Stud of Mr J. D. Brown.

As both Mr McGregor and Mr Donald have had excellent ealving from -their importations, the breed is now well on its way to being soundly established in the Dominion.-,
