I saw this calf in Denver in Jan. 2012.  He was raised in MT and sold to Ontario.  I thought he was pretty good.

This a British White or Speckle Park?

This bull is a White Galloway.  They are are seperate breed with in the Galloway herdbook.  There may have been some shorthorn allowed in there 100 years ago to get the color pattern.  Just sayin... ;)

Really like this guys look! What type of BW are we talking out of him? I would love to see what colors he would throw out of some simangus or Maine angus cows. I will be calling you tomorrow if I can.

Any experience crossing them, meaning what colour combos are predicted?

Frostback- The White is a pattern, the only variation would be some body freckling or roaning.  A resulting calf should be white patterned, or solid colored.  If the dam is painted up with blotches of white, the calf would be white patterned, or look like its mother.

This bull is out of a white patterned cow, and a solid black bull, so he is heterozygous for the pattern.  His sire is a red gene carrier.  I do not know if Gilchrist farms has DNA tested him to see if he is a red carrier.

talk about STOUT and HUGE ASSED.
What's his predigree like?

You repeatedly indicate "ass" in these threads, what is the said "ass" you are referring to? Is my computer malfunctioning? Is there a 3D picture or a rear shot I am not seeing. Are you gifted with an intuitive ability to see a calf at one angle and know what the other angle looks like?

I'm not knocking the calf, but if you're telling me he has a huge ass from the side profile haired up picture it shows on my screen...then set the bottle down.

Knabe- Here is a link to the Gilchrist Farms website.  http://www.gilchristfarms.com/

I don't know if they have anything to do with the Gilchrist ranches in TX.

What is white patterned? seriously? The muzzle is very different in its markings. I wonder what you would get breeding to a red roan? probably a variation?

The "White Pattern" is the same as British Whites, White Parks, Long Horns.  In the White Galloway, if you breed white to white for generations, the points fade.

On a red roan, you would get a white animal with black or red points.

When white Galloways are bred to black Galloways, you get a white or a black.  The white will have roaning or freckling, if that calf is bred to a black, it will have a white calf with even more freckling, or a black.

Eventually they will look like the Speckle Parks, unless you introduce another white Galloway bull.

This is why the AGBA has maintained 3 seperate herdbooks. 

The solid blacks, reds, and duns are all in section 1.

The belteds and their offspring are in their own herd book section 2.

The whites and their offspring and registered in section 3.

Section 1 of the Galloway herdbook has always been closed to outside breeds.

That is why the White Galloways and all of their offspring are registered in a seperate herd book.

As for BW I am expecting him to throw calves in the 80 - 90 lbs range, which is alot less then i expect our club calf bred cattle to throw.  The colour will depend alot on the cow you use him on.  PB angus cows will more then likely still throw black calves.  under his hair he has alot of black hide, like his muzzel and his feet are all black.  His dam was paterned just like he is but his sire was black.

I just think this bull is pretty cool made and marked up wise. I think he would be a fun bull to use and see what you can get out of him but pretty interesting bull
