[QUOTE="egbert, post: 7689769, member: 9965"] Another vote for one of the various hues of Galloways. (nothing against Highlands, but why bother with the antlers?) Belts/Whites/Riggits all have following around the country, including smallholders/parkland type locations, easy care specialist beef applications, and conservation grazing. Whereas -if I may speculate- the solid blacks tend to be limited to commercial hill men. This is leading them along a path i don't subscribe to myself, chasing size and shape and length....but each to their own eh. Behavioural issues are 95% down to handling and handler attitude. As [USER=54]@JP1[/USER] has said. For sure there's occasionally odd snotty ones - but you can trim their feet up to the ears to cure that. As also said, the show circuit/smallholder-itis sometimes leads to less than careful selection criteria, but as long as you keep it in mind, you'll be fine. Get ahead, get a Galloway! [/QUOTE]
