The belted Galloway

We saw some of these cattle in Oregon and loved how they called them the "Oreo Cookie Cows".

The “Belted Galloway”,  is a hardy breed of Scottish Cattle, and distinctive because of the belted, white band evenly distributed around the mid section of the otherwise totally black animal. Many breeders and cattle fanciers refer to the “belties” as Oreo Cookie Cows. This extremely hardy and dual-purpose breed are considered perfect cattle for the harsh and long winters. Belted Galloways are very hardy, covered in a dual hair coat that all Galloways possess. A short, velvety and water resistant undercoat acts like a downy insulation, protecting these cows from dampness of any kind. The long, course, and curly outer guard hairs protect them from cold, making these animals a wonderful breed for adaptation in Northern climates. Even their ears have unusually long fur resembling attractive fringe, protecting their ears from frostbite.
There many other great positives for these cows but just the fact that they look like a Oreo cookie

was good enough for me.
