Thanks to the COM352 students for contributing a bunch of new pages! I'll be moving these pages into the main area of the wiki soon.
UMass Belted Galloway Group
From UMassWiki
The University of Massachusetts Belted Galloway Group is a group run by Animal Science students and overseen by an advisor. Members of the group learn about the management of raising and showing beef cattle. Through this practice, students acquire skills in providing proper nutrition, maintaining hoof care as well as aspects of reproduction and calving. Furthermore, the students partake in fitting and showing at various beef shows.

[edit] History
Our foundation stock traveled from [Aldermer Farm [1]] to the UMass South Deerfield facility in mid-2003. UMass Belties began as a group in 2004.
[edit] Goals
The goal for the future is to teach students about selecting genetics that are desired by UMBGG. These prefered traits will hopefully result in a herd of docile cows that uphold the Belted Galloway breed characteristics.
