Woodland Fell

Bonbon out with her mum on a gorgeous spring day. Her mum’s called Caramel, so we had to name her calf after a sweet.

90% of Belted Galloways are black and white, the rest are either “dun” (fudge coloured) or “red” (a rich dark reddish brown). We like these rarer colours and 1/3 of ours are either dun or red. Bonbon is dun, but when calves are born they are somewhere between slate grey and lavender, they only change to dun later on.

We moved to Cumbria just before Christmas ’23, the first Belties arrived, followed by the snow!
