BELTED GALLOWAYS
Bethlehem, CT - I was traveling through Bethlehem and remembered seeing some Belted Galloway cows and wanted to get a photo of them. Unfortunately the full grown cows were not out back and only the heifers were close to the road. The heifers look too lanky and don't look quite as round as the adults.
The Belted Galloway is a cross between the Scottish breed Galloway and the Dutch Belted. I just think they look cool.

They also look like they are leaning against the wind or on a hill!
I first saw Belted Galloways many years ago in Maine. I like their look, too.
I have heard of that breed before, but I think they must be crossed with a Panda or a Skunk
I think they look cool too. That's why they interest me as a subject for my paintings. As I've mentioned on my blog before, they also ignore me most of the time and just go about their business. At least the animals at Aldermere Farm in Rockport, Maine do. Once in awhile one will watch me...but it's usually the other way around.
My stepfather acquired a small herd, they are the bovine version of his deux-chevaux – extremely functional but so distinctive. I am an artist and working on an amusing "standoff" he had with one of the bulls.
