New Beginnings Farm offers Belted Galloway breeding stock ideal for the small farmer.

Here at New Beginnings Farm, we believe in the old idea that Belted Galloway cattle are hardy, thrifty, and most of all, easy-to-own. We choose to raise Belted Galloways because they fit our lifestyle and our commitment to farming in a sustainable and responsible way.

The Belted Galloways at New Beginnings Farm represent the breed's ruggedness, docility, and remarkable foraging and mothering ability. They are fed a diet of mainly grass with no use of hormones, antibiotics, or other chemical inputs. While the growth performance of our Belties is entirely of their own doing, we do not let them run completely wild. All of our animals, even the herd sire, are handled daily and accustomed to people. Some people even say they're friendly.  Enough about our philosophy, let's introduce the stars of the farm… the animals.

Our herd is a mix of Purebred and Appendix females, with diversity in their backgrounds including Aldermere Wellington, Mochrum Colum, and Beaver Dam genetics. Our cows reach 1100-1200 pounds on a basic grass diet. They range in age from young heifers to our lovely lady of 13 years, Claire.  Just as an example of how productive Beltie cows can be, Claire and her nine-year-old daughter Babye have had two consecutive calving intervals of 10 and 11 months!  We are also very excited about our most recent herd sire, Mainstone Lightning who was introduced into the herd in 1998, bringing Sleepy Creek genetics.

We offer for sale females from our herd as breeding stock to other farmers who want to take advantage of the traits of Belted Galloways that make them such a pleasure to have as part of the small farm.  We understand the challenges of raising beef on limited acreage, without high-input feeds like silage.  Our Belties are bred to be efficient, compact, and manageable.  When you see a New Beginnings Farm cow, be assured that's what she'll look like out on your field!
