Belted Galloways The Americas' oldest herd of the world's most beautiful cattle
Healthy meat We thank the Great Creator and all living things. When we kill a
deer, we thank it for its life. When we cut a tree, we thank it for its
life.

Safe, Natural Meat The oldest continuous herd of Belted Galloways outside Great Britain lives at Green Arpents, an hour outside Montreal, Canada. It is a closed herd, meaning that all the animals sold here are born here, and no cattle are brought in from outside the farm (save for a lucky bull every dozen years or so). Green Arpents Belties are never fed commercial feeds, the likely source of contamination leading to the deadly BSE in cattle and Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in the humans who eat them. Pesticide-free pasture and hay grown right here are the diet of Green Arpents Belties. Mineral salt blocks and clean water keep them happy ( . . . well, at least when they're not smelling the neighbours' corn). No growth hormones are given. Belties are short, tough, compact little guys and we like them that way . . . you want to make something of it? You might say they are the Jimmy Cagney of cattle breeds (ask your grandma). Animals sold for freezer have been given no antibiotics. They never need any. They virtually never get sick. Unlike the poor beasts whose lot in life is the feedlot, where they stand up to their knees in a mire of their own excrement, needing regular doses of antibiotics to keep them alive until the supplemented growth hormones hurry them to market, Green Arpents Belties live their whole lives outside in large fields, hiding their newborns in old woods and gorging on windfalls from unsprayed apple trees.
