Black, Dun & Red Belted Galloway Cattle for Sale
The Widecombe Belted Galloway herd was started in 1987 by William & Pamela Coaker with the acquisition of 5 in-calf heifers, followed by 10 cows and a bull (Burnside Meteor 2nd) in 1988. Since then the herd has grown to around 40 pedigree cows and 2 stock bulls (Mochrum Huckleberry & Speedoch Jason). The herd is now managed by Clyde Coaker (son of William and Pam) and is farmed in a traditional manner on a farm with real heritage in the heart of Dartmoor.
We breed traditional Black, Dun and Red Pedigree Belted Galloway cattle and will normally have heifers for sale as well as the odd bull and older cow. Please contact us to find out what's currently available, or to find out when stock is likely to be available for sale.

Belted Galloways are a naturally hardy breed that originated (as their name would suggest!) on the exposed uplands of Galloway, in South West Scotland. They are well suited to barren landscapes, such as Dartmoor. Our Belties spend the summer grazing up to 6000 acres of Dartmoor common land and are wintered outdoors - the way they should be! Given the isolated lifestyle they lead, we ensure they still get a great deal of human contact, particularly during the winter months. The Widecombe herd is naturally placid and we have built a fine reputation selling excellent quality stock of this nature.
