Become a Member of the Belted Galloway Society

The Belted Galloway Society plays a key role in preserving this unique heritage breed emphasizing its iconic appearance, adaptability and high quality beef while raising awareness of the breed’s benefits and functionality for farms and ranches.

BENEFITS OF BEING A MEMBER

The Belted Galloway Society (BGS) provides members and customers support in promotion, education, research and breed continuance. As a lifetime or regular BGS member you have voting rights at any annual meeting with business needing membership votes. 

The BGS partners with Digital Beef, a real-time online registry that provides BGS members with 24/7 access to most record services.  Digital Beef gives members access to reported data and pedigrees for all registered and recorded animals in the Belted Galloway herdbook. Digital Beef is included with your active membership. The BGS partners with UC Davis for our genetic testing services. 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MEMBER?

Regular memberships are annual memberships issued by the Society in the name of an individual, farm or ranch, partnership or corporation.  There are 3 types of BGS memberships: Regular, Associate (for those with no animals) and Junior (for those under 21).  Fees are used to fund regular association operations, advertising and promotion.  Members will also receive our quarterly publication with their fee. 

The junior membership is available until the holder reaches his or her 21st birthday.  At that time, they may get a regular membership.  Junior members have all the privileges of regular members (except voting), registering and transferring Belted Galloways, as well as participating in junior activities.  Juniors are also given the opportunity to apply for scholarships from the Belted Galloway Foundation. 

We look forward to having you as a new member of the Belted Galloway Society. Once your application is processed, you will receive a new member packet which includes promotion and resource material to help you become more involved in the BGS. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Executive Director at 608-220-1091 or [email protected].
