A good book with good pictures.
From the Galloway section:
When crossed with the Shorthorn, the blue-grey cattle are produced, and there is no more popular beast for the butcher than these oxen. They are keenly sought after, being exactly of the right size and weight. There is no doubt about it, that anyone contemplating breeding cattle for feeding purposes that it is impossible to do better than acquire a Galloway bull and mate this animal with Shorthor n cows, bred from sound stock. It must not be understood that the Galloway will not mate well with other breeds. It crosses remarkably well with the Aberdeen Angus, to which, in many respects it is similar, though smaller, and the hair is curly or woolly, whilst on the poll there is a rough tuft of hair.
And a vintage Hereford bull
