Galloway cattle are naturally polled. They have a thick, woolly undercoat and stiffer overcoat. Black is the most common colour of Galloway cattle; due to the recessive gene for a red colour, there may be variations of colour. They are bred to adapt to harsher climates. Mature bulls weigh 700+kg while mature cows weigh 400+ kilograms.
