Our Priorities When Selling Cattle 

We breed and sell smaller, traditional Galloway cattle for the sheer pleasure of it. This is our shared hobby. Yes, they are registered as miniature Galloway cattle. We pride ourselves on being caring breeders, and we insist on nothing but the best for our cattle. Our priority, when our cattle leave our property, is to ensure they will be well looked after. We insist that their gentle and compliant nature is treated with respect. We do not part with our cattle until we are 100% certain they are going to good people with the required set up, resources and commitment needed to look after cattle.

Buying Really Quiet (well handled) Cattle

Please, don't be fooled by people offering cattle that will eat out of your hand (come to you for food). Most animals will come to you for food. Sadly, most of those animals will also avoid you otherwise. Or they will become pushy, demanding nuisances. This unwanted behaviour may seem cute when they're calves, but even a 400kg full-grown nuisance is dangerous. We believe that if you teach calves to associate your hands and clothing with food; you are setting them up to become a problem for their new owners in the future. Have you ever tried to push away a determined 400kg nuisance?

Our cattle will come to you in the paddock or wait for you to come to them, just to enjoy being handled. No food necessary. Little people are safe around our little cattle.

3. Beautiful Bulls. We are happy to talk to people wanting to purchase bulls. We don't sell bulls very often and we don't advertise them for sale. Gold Creek Storm Chaser may be offered for sale in early 2025. Storm Chaser is arguably the smallest registered Miniature White Galloway bull in Australia. He is definitely the quietest and easiest to train animal we have ever had the pleasure of breeding. These are traits that he has passed onto all of his offspring. We have a black bull calf son of Storm Chaser, Gold Creek Dark n Stormy. He may be offered for sale mid 2025.Email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Our Sales Contact List

To be included on our Sales Contact List, you will need to email us:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. gold email images. We need your email address and PIC (Property Identification Code - you can't have livestock on your property without a PIC). Your email needs to include as much relevant information about you as possible. Relevant information includes the number of cattle you want and whether you want cows, bulls, heifers, steers, calves or mature cattle. What you want the cattle for is also relevant. Do you simply want pets or show ring performers? Do you want registered cattle for breeding or companion animals for people with disabilities? Please include your location, the size of your property, your setup to run cattle on your property, and anything else you think might be relevant.

Yes, we want to know quite a lot about you before we consider selling any of our animals to you. By the time any of our cattle are ready to be sold, we have spent days, weeks and sometimes years handling each of them and forming bonds. So, we need to know they will be well looked after when they leave us, or it will be very hard for us to sleep well at night. We love our cattle, and we love our sleep.

We sort the people on our Sales Contest List into groups according to our understanding of their wants, needs, and priorities. When cattle are offered for sale, we will email the people we feel are best suited to the cattle available (if they don't happen to email us first, and at just the right time. 

If you are on our Sales Contact List, it is important that you read Our Buying Process (on this page, below). We will contact you when we are ready to sell any of our herd members that meet your requirements. The contact will be by email. The email will contain the information, but not the price. Once you ask for the price, you have 48 hours to decide.

Our Buying Process

If you are serious about buying our cattle, please take note:

We direct you to this information to protect you from disappointment. Sadly, for the buyers, there are always more buyers than there are small White Galloway cattle for sale (at any point in time). We are happier when these things do not end in disappointment or tears (and there have been tears). Our cattle are only withdrawn from sale when a deposit is paid, and the receipt is sent to us. No exceptions.

Our Sales Contact List means that our sales process is very different to most breeders. After years of steadily building an online presence, a solid reputation and breeding an amazing, seriously quiet herd, we are in a very enviable position. We have at least half a dozens buyers for any one cow/heifer or steer calf we want to sell. When you get to the point of asking us for prices, you need to understand our situation and the process we have put in place to manage it.

We carefully match the cattle we want to sell to the people on our Sales Contact List. We match people we believe are the best fit. We will contact you when we are ready to sell any herd members that match your requirements. The original contact will be by email. The email will contain all the information about the cattle. If you are interested in the cattle, there will probably be a lot of emails. We will not send you an email to you with the price unless you ask for the price*. Interest is always strong. 

Our Sales Contact List is long, particularly for cows, heifers in calf, heifer calves and pairs of steers. The list is much longer than the list of names of cattle we might want to sell. By the time we are ready to offer any cattle for sale, we will have 'spoken' to quite a few people by email. So, we will already have the contact details of several people who are well prepared to look after these cattle. Many of them will be ready, willing, and able to pay a deposit the minute any cattle are offered for sale. Yes, after waiting months, it can happen that quickly. In 2024, the record for a deposit being paid was 2 hours after the email went out. It is now 2025 and it is 30 minutes! Yes, half an hour!

Many people considering buying from us have chosen to adopt (sponsor) a cow or calf first. This means they have already visited the stud and seen all of our cattle. They are also able to gain a good measure of us as people and as breeders. So, they are well placed to make a move and make it quickly. The adoption fee (sponsoring not purchasing), paid by any buyer, is deducted from the sale price of any cattle purchased.

* Potential buyers have 48 hours from being given the price to pay a deposit. After 48 hours, we contact the next person or group of people on our Sales Contact List.

The holding deposit is 20% of the purchase price. 

Account Owner: Suzanne Baker

Members Equity Bank 

BSB: 944-600 

Account number: 007811578

When we receive an email, with a bank receipt for the deposit, we withdraw the cattle from sale. (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Deposits are fully refundable. If you visit and discover that the cow/calf/bull you want is not as described or presented in photographs or video footage, we will refund your deposit in full. This has never been necessary. Never. You have 14 days from the time of paying the deposit to visit for this purpose.

In the last thirteen years, not one of our buyers has even visited before taking delivery. Thankfully, not one of them was disappointed either!

We will answer all your questions and give you plenty of attention during the lead-up to any sale. However, it would be extremely unusual for us to be talking to only one buyer. This is not sales hype - there are always other buyers ready to jump in despite our not having a waiting list. The list of people on the Sales Contact List is always many times longer than the list of names of cows we have in calf. Furthermore, most people on the Sales Contact List check in with us regularly.

Bull sales are a little different. They don't happen very often, and the price may be negotiable. When deciding to purchase a bull, you have 48 hours from being told the price to decide. If we don't hear from you or receive a receipt for the deposit, the price will be given to the next interested party. Even with bull sales, there are always other interested parties. Our small, quiet bulls are highly sort-after and rarely offered for sale.

We will hold cattle for a maximum of 21 days from the payment of a deposit (unless other arrangements are made at the time of sale). Payment in full is made before pickup or delivery.

* Please Note: A holding deposit will not secure cattle indefinitely. If you choose to organise the transportation yourself, it is your responsibility. You must ensure the cattle are moved safely from our property to your property and in a timely manner. If buyers cannot organise transport for the pickup date, we reserve the right to return the deposit or cancel the sale outright.

Transport

When purchasing cattle from us, we suggest you organise your own transportation with either a horse float or small livestock trailer *. Or we can get someone from Braidwood to deliver the cattle to you in a safe and timely manner. Currently, transportation costs range from $3.20 km for a horse float, loaded to $4.00 per kilometre for a truck with a cattle crate, loaded. Increasing fuel prices may have caused an increase in costs.

Prices

Our prices are commensurate with the quality of our cattle. The price range for steers in pairs starts at $3400 each ($6800 for a pair) and only goes up from there. Pricing depends on the size, colour and temperament of the individual. Go to our FAQ page for a more detailed outline of the price range. If you are looking for wary little grass eaters, at bargain-basement prices, you have come to the wrong place.

We often subsidise the price of our highly trained Animal-Assisted Therapy cattle so that they can be placed where they are needed the most.

When cattle are offered for sale, they are very 'user-friendly'. When they are sold, we try to ensure they will stay that way. Therefore, we do not sell our cattle unless we are 100% confident they will be well looked after. Transportation from our property to yours must be well planned.

We sell cattle to people looking for:

A. Show ring performers.

B. Cows and bulls for breeding purposes.

C. Gentle paddock pets for the joy of owning such beautiful animals.

D. Paddock pals for small horses, alpacas, miniature pigs, sheep and goats.

E. Lifestyle property management - peaceful lawn mowers for the small acreage owner.
