Hill Farm
|
Anderson Hill
Farm is located in the Green Mountains of central Vermont, where the rugged
terrain seems to suit the needs of Belted Galloway cattle. Established
in 1977 with a handful of domestic stock, they soon evolved into a serious
breeding farm stating ‘The acquisition and importation of a bull and 5
heifers from Scotland and England in 1988 was the beginning of our desire
to breed the best. Since then, we have purchased the breeding rights to
2 more bulls, who still reside there.’
We asked them about their goals as breeders of Belted Galloway cattle. They replied, ‘Our breeding practices are aimed at producing cattle we are proud of. To accomplish this, we visualize a carcass and work backwards from there. What does this carcass need? How can we achieve the results we desire? The answers vary, however with the consultation of Matt, from Purdue University, the advice from Vance, our show specialist, the experience of Mike, Terry, Josh and Bruce, the "hands-on" crew, along with the knowledge of Bob, and the drive and resources of the farm owner, Dick Anderson and his son, Cass, we have assembled a team that has one common goal, "The Quest for the Best."' |

Anderson Hill Weekend Gal
|
Anderson Hill Weekend Gal 22430D, is sired by Anderson Hill Unbridled II out of Anderson Hill Qui, bred and owned by Richard Anderson, West Rutland, VT. She is a broody, deep bodied heifer with a wonderful expansion of rib, and carrying herself proudly. Her show career includes Grand Champion Female at the Big E in 2005 and 2006, and Grand Champion Female at the NAILE 2006. She was also Grand Champion at the Big E 2006 BYG show. Weekend Gal has become one of those very special animals at Anderson Hill Farm, not only because of her professional accomplishments, but because she is as friendly and docile as any animal they have ever raised. They look forward to Weekend Gal’s future progeny. |
