More and more Galloways are used in nature management. In earlier times, large and small grazers formed the landscape. However, many of these wild grazers are extinct in our regions. Instead, cattle breeds that are closely related to their wild ancestors are now being introduced. The Galloway is a bovine with many primitive features. It is a social animal that lives in a herd and can be released in small groups in nature reserves. It is very well adapted to outdoor life and requires little care. For example, it does not need any help with calving, it does not need to be milked and it finds sufficient food, so that additional feeding is not necessary. Because it does not only eat grasses and grazes some parts more or less, the diversity of the landscape increases. Its friendly and quiet character is ideal in nature areas with a high number of visitors.
Still this. Despite the very gentle character, these animals are not tame and cannot be compared to the cows we know from the farm. It is also important that the animals retain their self-reliance and do not become dependent on humans. It is therefore asked to leave the animals alone, not to walk towards them and not to feed them. It is also best to keep the dog on a leash!
