Miniature White Galloway
Miniature White Galloways are the 'new kids on the block' when it comes to Miniature Galloway cattle. The Whites come in three different colour combinations also.
There are MIniature White Galloways that are all white. Then there are MIniature White Galloway cattle that are white with coloured points. The 'points' are the muzzle, the eyes, ears and hooves of the cattle. Some Whites have splashes or speckles of colour on their sides and backs and sometimes on their faces. As many people like the splashes and speckles as those who prefer the coat to be 'clean'.

Owners of Miniature White Galloways
Owners of the Miniature Whites say they chose their whites for different reasons. Some thought the little black ears and noses were so cute they fell in love. Others said it was because they thought the white coats might be cooler in the hotter climates experienced in northern parts of Australia. Whatever the reasons people are choosing the Miniature White Galloways, they are certainly becoming pretty popular.
