Dairy
Galloway
C tier
Galloway cattle are a Scottish beef breed kept for hardy outdoor finishing; milk is incidental to mothering calves rather than commercial dairying. Any milk is mild and modest in volume, reflecting beef-type udders rather than dairy selection. Commercial Galloway milk is essentially unavailable. On rare homestead dual-use animals, small amounts may serve household tea and porridge. Culinary interest is historical curiosity, not a dairy supply category.
