The U.S. Belted Galloway Society
The Belted Galloway Foundation, Inc.
The Foundation
(The Foundation) is a non-profit corporation created to engage in educational and scientific activities dedicated to the improvement of Belted Galloway cattle breed production and marketing practices, and encouraging youth involvement in beef production.
The seven-member Foundation Board of Directors consists of the four most recent past presidents of the Belted Galloway Society plus the current chairs of the Society's Long-Range Planning, Chatfield Scholarship Fund and Fundraising Committees.
The Foundation is a separate, autonomous corporation that is entirely supported by fundraising. Those who donate money or articles of value to support the Foundation and its programs enjoy the same tax benefits afforded those persons who donate to any charitable organization.
The Foundation currently maintains three separate funds: General Fund, Beltie Youth Group Fund, and the Chatfield Scholarship Fund. Donors to the Foundation can stipulate which fund they would like their donation to benefit. Those who wish to obtain funding for a particular educational or scientific project may contact the Foundation Secretary to request an application.
The first recorded importation of Belted Galloway stock to North America occurred in 1939, when a dozen bred heifers and a bull were transported to a Mrs. McLean at East Kortright, New York. About ten years later Harry A. Prock's Hapwood Farm in Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania began importing purebred stock. Mr. Prock founded the American Belted Galloway Breeders Association July 1, 1951 along with H. Gordon Green of Quebec, Canada and Charles C. Wells of East Lansing, Michigan. Belted Galloways were exhibited by Mr. Prock at the Ohio State Fair in 1952.
EDUCATION
Belted Galloway Breeders Manual
In order to provide Belted Galloway breeders with pertinent information regarding the care and breeding of their cattle, the Foundation publishes the Belted Galloway Breeders Manual. This publication is provided free of charge to all Belted Galloway breeders, and is intended to be a useful resource for all those who are interested in beef production and, specifically, the Belted Galloway breed.
A.H. Chatfield, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund
This fund was established shortly after the Aldermere Farm founder's death in 1999. The purpose was to establish an annual scholarship in his memory available to a member of the Beltie Youth Group or to any other deserving student interested in pursuing a career related to beef production. Students interested in applying for the A.H. Chatfield, Jr. scholarship award may request a form from the Society's office.
Beltie Youth Group (BYG)
Supported by the members of the Belted Galloway Society through generous contributions to the Foundation and other fundraisers, the Beltie Youth Group is involved with youngsters from every region of the country. The primary purposes of the BYG are to encourage youth involvement in the care and breeding of Belted Galloway cattle, and to provide educational and logistical services to support their activities. The BYG maintains a web site at <www.beltieyouthgroup.com> which provides a central source for current information regarding BYG activities.
SCIENCE
Rose Herd Project
The first donation to the Belted Galloway Foundation was the Rose Herd. Bob Rose of Waitsfield, Vermont made the generous donation of his large herd of fine quality Belted Galloways expressly so the animals could be used for studies intended to benefit the breed. First trials were conducted on the Rose Herd in Iowa in 2003.
 The original painting was sold at auction at Aldermere Farm. About the artist -- Linda Norton lives in her family's 1890s home in Camden, Maine, has a gallery at 109 Bayview in Camden, and a website at www.lindanortonstudio.com. The Foundation expresses a special thank you to Linda for her generosity in donating the use of her art work for this fundraiser. |
