Regional Groups
Regional groups of Belted Galloway breeders and others interested in the Belted Galloway breed were formed in support of the national Society. Each of the groups welcomes new members interested in the breed.

Formed in 1995, this regional group plans two or more informal meetings annually featuring educational clinics and potluck lunches. Their emphasis is on providing support and encouragement to youthful breeders and showmen, and they have instituted a Heifer Project to encourage youth interest in the breed. They are also responsible for the National Belted Galloway Sale held in April at Fryeburg, Maine.

The group meets annually, usually in October, promotes the breed at various Western shows and exhibits, publishes a quarterly newsletter called The Belt-Line, and has pages on Internet. Beltie facts, a member directory, current events and membership forms are available on the regional website.
