working farm, with our own dogs, cattle, so regrettably dogs cannot be allowed

| Borrowmoss Farm
Margaret runs a prize winning pedigree herd of mainly black Galloway Beef cattle, but with some dun cows and a very fine bull - Fusilier 2nd of Castlemilk. For nearly half the year the cattle graze on the 130 acres (53 Ha) of inks or salt marsh of the Cree Estuary, benefiting from the variety of grasses with their natural mineral content.This breed is in the premier league of beef cattle and there is no recorded case of a black Galloway having had BSE.Galloways, clearly a native breed were bred to thrive on poorer ground and can winter in quite severe conditions. Their growth is much slower than most continental breeds, but on a diet of grass, they produce far better tasting meat. |
