Belted Galloways

Hermitage, TN


"The Belted Galloway is a heirloom breed of beef cattle originating in the mountains of Galloway in southwestern Scotland. A hardy breed, they are naturally hornless and are distinguished by their thick heavy coats and white belt banding their middle.
They are known for their longevity and can adapt to any locale. Known for their maternal instincts and natural calving ability, a cow will raise a calf every year providing her youngster with rich milk. They are disease resistant, moderate sized, quiet, docile, and easily handled...." information from Hermitage sign
These two were spotted hanging out on the grounds of The Hermitage. President Jackson did not have Galloways but he did have lots of other kinds of animals.

I have forgotten why they were given to The Hermitage. Did Jackson have the breed?
