The Belted Galloway is a rare beef breed of cattle originating from Galloway in South West Scotland, adapted to living on the poor upland pastures and windswept moorlans of the region.  Belted Galloways are primarily raised for their quality marbled beef, although they are sometimes milked and purchased to adorn pastures due to their striking appearance.  In the US these cows are often informally known as "police car cows,""panda cows" or "Oreo cows" after the Oreo Cookie.
