THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE BELTED GALLOWAY SOCIETY, I N C .
President Michelle Ogle
It has been an exciting spring! With sales,
shows, new junior events, several regional field
days, it is obvious our membership is excited and
passionate for the Belted Galloway breed. As we
transition into summer, I want to thank all of the members who
are exposing our breed to the public. Whether it is through
show, display, a promotional booth, or a farmers’ market, your
efforts benefit all those who are raising Belted Galloway cattle.
The spring Council meeting was held in Indianapolis last
month. I want to personally take this the opportunity to thank
the members of the Council for their time and dedication to the
breed. As a volunteer organization, we depend upon our Council members to help us offer services to our membership. Their
contributions are greatly appreciated.
By the time this newsletter is in print, the Society will have
launched the new design of our website by EDJE! I am very
excited to be able to offer the return of the Breeders’ Page, and
banner ads will again be offered on the site. If you are interested
in submitting information on our website about your operation
and cattle, the Breeders’ Page will be a
free service offered to the membership.
Our vice-president, Greg Hipple, took
on this project and he has guidelines for
you to review in this issue. Log onto
beltie.org, select the Breeders’ Page
listed under the Society tab. Space is
available on this page for members to
submit their information. Members
may advertise with a banner ad located
on our home page. Our banner ad rates
are listed by selecting services orders
which are under the Forms & Charts
tab. Your farm or ranch can be linked
to your personal website. Contact the
Society office if you are interested in
advertising.
During our redesign, it came to light that there was a tremendous amount of non-functional links on our site, including
phone numbers and addresses. I want to encourage everyone to
take the time to review and update your contact information
with the CLRC and through the Society office. If you know you
have changed your email, phone, or website, please remember
to update your information so potential customers can locate
your operation. We don’t want you to miss out on any information about upcoming Belted Galloway events or opportunities.
Council is continuing a promotional campaign through 2015,
that is offering a one-year membership to new farms/individuals
through the purchase and transfer of Belted Galloway cattle.
This is a great opportunity to introduce first-time breeders to the
advantages of Society membership and the services offered. We
will develop new promotional items, which will use our new
logo, and these items will be offered for sale. For further information about the spring Council meeting, please read the summary provided in this newsletter. If you have any questions,
please don’t hesitate to contact myself or any member of Council.

Dr. Arthur Richard “Dick” Butson
1922-2015
Dr. Arthur Richard "Dick" Butson was an adventurer, a surgeon, a military officer, and an avid cattle breeder. He was
born to British parents in Hankow, China on October 24,
1922. He was educated at Leighton Park School at Reading,
Cambridge University and University College Hospital in
England.
During the World War II air raids on London, Butson served
in the Home Guard and the light rescue squad. From 1946 to
1949 he was a medical officer to the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, the British government-sponsored expedition
to the Antarctic. The expedition discovered a route for dog
teams over the 5,000 foot high mountains of the Graham Land
Peninsular and surveyed the last 1,000 miles of the most inaccessible coastline in the world. Butson received the Albert
Medal from King George VI at Buckingham Palace on November 2, 1948 for saving the life of a man who fell into a
glacier and was wedged 30 meters below the surface. Butson
was reinvested with the George Cross in July 1972. The cross
is the highest gallantry award for civilians and military personnel for actions which are not in the face of the enemy.
Dr. Butson immigrated to Canada in 1952 and later settled at
Hamilton, Ontario, where he practiced as a surgeon. He was
the Chief of Staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital for many years.
Dr. Butson mountain climbed extensively in the Canadian
Rockies, the Antarctic, the Alps, and at Baffin Island. He also
led a climbing expedition to the Hindu Kush in the Himalayas.
On his Maple Brae farm near Hamilton, he raised Belted
Galloway cattle. Dr. Butson imported Boreland Phoebe in
April 1970 and in April 1984, he imported Mochrum Colum
from the U.K. Dr. Butson served on the Belted Galloway Society Council from 1992 to 1995. In 1994, he presented a report at the US and Canadian Annual Galloway meetings titled
Beef Fat in Belted Galloways. The report was used extensively in the Society’s promotional literature for many years.
Dr. Butson passed away March 24, 2015 and is survived by
his wife, Eileen, his daughters, Sarah and Caroline, and his
son, Rick.

Send ‘em South – Aldermere Achievers
Rockport, Maine
We are from the South – The Dirt Club
Louisburg, North Carolina
Many Belted Galloway breeders are familiar with the Aldermere
Achievers, a 4-H club from Rockport, Maine. Club members
lease and show Belted Galloway cattle from Aldermere Farm. In
2011, through fundraising and the leadership of Heidi Howard
Baker, they loaded their cows, members, and chaperones, and
made the 1000-plus mile trip from Maine to Louisville, Kentucky for the National sale! And they are going to do it again in
November 2015!
The Dirt Club from Louisburg,
North Carolina has been on our
southern radar this year. Thirty of
the 75 members of the Dirt Club
are working very hard to show
cattle at 15 venues in and around
North Carolina. Ray Family
Farms of Louisburg, are the club
sponsors. They have provided an opportunity for their members
to show both Belted Galloway and Galloway breeds.
Aldermere Farm is excited about other farms in Maine who
have established 4-H programs such as Colby Woods Farm and
Moonshadow Farm. Heidi Baker told us that she hopes even
more farms will be inspired and start programs for youth!
The Achievers have launched their fundraising campaign called
Send’em South 2015 at gofundme.com. Please help send these
hardworking over-Achievers South!
Chad Ray shared, “What a blessing it is to watch kids learn how
to work, how to focus, how to compete, how to be humble, and
how to succeed while they have fun.” The Rays have the support of the parents and the many people who work together to
help Dirt Club succeed. Dirt Club is currently raising funds to
help sponsor their activities. We asked Ray Family Farms to tell
us how they take 30 youth to a show? Chad and Jodi told us
there is no other explanation. “It takes a bundle of cash just to
roll out of the drive!” Entry fees, gas, hotels, supplies and food
are all carefully budgeted.
Raffle tickets are being sold for $10 per ticket for a chance to
win a Belted Galloway hide valued at $800. Snap up your tickets at rayfamilyfarms.com/shop/ and help Dirt Club roll out of
the drive and into the show ring! The drawing will be held
July 24, 2015.

The Spring Council Meeting
Leanne Fogle, US Beltie News
The Spring Council meeting was called to order at 2:45 p.m.
May 15, 2015, in Indianapolis, Indiana by President Michelle
Ogle (NJ). Present: Past-President and Treasurer Jon
Bednarski (KY), Leanne Fogle (IL), Jane Hemmer (GA),
Vice-President Greg Hipple (IA), and Secretary Lisa Lovett
(IL). Also present was Executive Director Victor Eggleston
(WI). Leanne Fogle represented the newsletter office.
Absent: Mike Crittenden (UT), Brice Jackson (IN), and
Chuck Neely (VA).
Secretary’s Report. Lisa Lovett reported the membership
totals during 2014 were 790 Regular, 133 Junior, 13
Associate and 124 Life for a total membership of 1060. The
2014 registration/transfer data included 304 Males, 924
Purebred Females, 108 Appendix Females and 897 Transfers.
Total transactions were 2,233. Current membership through
April 30, 2015: 637 Regular, 95 Junior, 6 Associate, 121
Life, for a total of 859 memberships. Transactions for the
first four months of 2015 include: 65 Male, 267 Purebred
Female, 50 Appendix, and 314 Transfers for a total of 696
transactions. President Ogle will send a postcard reminder to
all 2014 members who have not paid their dues.
Treasurer’s Report. Jon Bednarski reported the Society has
$28,004.26 in checking, $25,851.04 in savings, and
$102,157.10 in a certificate of deposit. Society assets total
$156,012.40.
Budget and Finance. Executive Director Vic Eggleston
reviewed the proposed budget with Council. Currently, the
US dollar is worth $1.22 in Canadian currency. A financial
adjustment of currency is done daily by the CLRC. Eggleston
noted that the budget includes increased expenses for the
redesign of beltie.org and newsletter printing.
Promotion and Advertising Committee. Chairman Jon
Bednarski explained to Council that participation in the
calendar photo contests was well received. However, the
printed calendars did not generate enough sales or the
financial support of the membership. The extra calendars
were distributed and used in promotion. Bednarski
recommended, and Council agreed, to discontinue the
contest. Bednarski will research clothing and promotional
items displaying the new Society logo. Council reviewed the
outline and production schedule for the Belted Galloway
Journal. The Journal will be mailed and distributed in
August 2015 for the fall show season. The 11 th Galloway
World Congress will be held August 5-10, 2016 in Gretna,
Scotland. The conference is £280 per person. Hotel rates are
£70 for a two-person room and £45 for a single-person room
at the Gretna Green Hotel. (The exchange rate of one British
pound equals $1.53 US.) Bednarski is consulting with travel
agents to see if it is possible to coordinate flights for regional
groups to travel together. He will update the membership, if
it is possible. Airfares are currently around $1500 (US) per
person.
Information and Technology Committee. Council
previously approved contracting with EDJE Technologies to
design a new logo and to do a redesign of beltie.org that is
also smartphone and tablet-friendly. Chairman Michelle Ogle
presented the redesign for Council’s review and approval.
The redesign will be launched in June. Display ads will
return to beltie.org at an initial rate of $200 per year and will
renew yearly at the rate of $120. A Breeders’ Page will also
return to beltie.org as a complimentary advantage of
membership. Members will have the opportunity to submit a
maximum of 150 words about their farm. Greg Hipple will be
the contact person for submissions and will manage the
Breeders’ Page content.
Belted Galloway Junior Association. President Ogle
updated Council regarding the first Northeast Junior National
held at Fryeburg, ME. Ogle reported it was very successful.
Several contests were held. They included a bake-off, a photo
contest, public speaking, team judging and marketing
activities. Showmanship and a junior show were held.
Chairman Scot Adams (ME) requested $250 from the
Foundation to buy a semen tank and many breeders donated
semen that was placed in the tank and auctioned at Fryeburg,
ME. The fundraising effort raised $3,375 and was added to
the Foundation’s Belted Galloway Junior Association
account. Area 5 will be holding a silent auction at the
GLBGA annual meeting. Council members discussed the
importance of the junior regions and the programs
implemented that are tailored to the youth in the regions. Jon
Bednarski requested that each region submit the name of a
junior to be featured in the upcoming Belted Galloway
Journal. Bednarski also commented that the leadership camp
will be tabled until more financial support becomes available.
President Ogle will work with EDJE to develop a Belted
Galloway Junior Association page as part of the redesign of
beltie.org. Ogle stated that all regions must ensure that
juniors have paid their dues before participating in events.
She also stated that all regions need to recognize the
organization’s name change and to use the new logo on
awards and with promotion.
Chatfield Scholarship. Vic Eggleston announced the
winners of the scholarship. Allie Abney (IN), Elliott
Pendleton (ME), and Audrey Wagner (IA) were each
awarded a $1000 scholarship. The winners will be profiled in
The Belted Galloway Journal.
Annual General Meeting. Chairman Jon Bednarski
communicated the 2014 Annual General Meeting, held in
Louisville, KY was a success. For the past three years the
meeting has been well attended. Council approved holding
the 2015 meeting in Louisville, KY in conjunction with the
National Belted Galloway Show and Premium Sale. The
Hilton Garden Inn will be hotel headquarters and the location
of the meeting. President Ogle added that the schedule of the
events may change with the possibility of beginning the
event one day later than in 2014. She will update the
membership when the North American has made their
JUNE 2015
decision. The Galloway World Congress will be held in the
United States in 2020. Council approved the Society hosting
the event during the 2020 Annual General Meeting and the
National Belted Galloway Show at the NAILE in Louisville,
KY. The Society has invited the American Galloway
Breeders Association to exhibit solid Galloway cattle at the
2020 show.
Show and Sale Committees. Chairman Michelle Ogle
reported that she is communicating with the North American
for final dates for the 2015 National Belted Galloway Show.
Ogle has also made a request for stalling in a different barn
and live streaming of the show. The Premium Sale will be
held again in Louisville, KY. Cattle will be sold via video
immediately following the Annual General Meeting and
banquet at the Hilton Garden Inn. Council approved funding
GLBGA $1,500 to aid the organization with shows and
exhibitions. Funds are in the 2015 Society budget for other
regional requests. Greg Hipple noted that he is now serving
as a World Beef Expo director and he made a request to the
show committee to consider giving regional point shows an
endorsement. He provided an example of how the Belted
Galloway Society could benefit from a regional show like
WBE. If the Society would endorse the World Beef Expo
Belted Galloway Show as a “National Show” or “National
Regional Show,” World Beef Expo could allow the breed
special privileges such as holding a regional Belted Galloway
Junior Association show in the main arena. He asked the
committee to communicate with other show administrations
to see if there is interest or benefits of a special name
endorsement.
Newsletter Committee. Chairman Leanne Fogle shared the
history of the newsletter and the production, printing, and
non-profit mailing schedule at Leesburg Printing in
Leesburg, FL. Vic Eggleston presented a cost report
comparing eight versus twelve page newsletter printings,
mailing fees, and the transition from black and white to color
printing. The Belted Galloway Society is continuing a
promotion campaign through 2015, offering complimentary
memberships to new farms/individuals who purchase and
transfer Belted Galloway cattle. The campaign has increased
the reach of newsletter readers and has boosted the number of
printed newsletters. Council approved raising the advertising
insert fee to $200 to cover the increase in postage fees.
Long Range Planning Committee. The Long Range
Planning Committee is assigned tasks and studies that
determine the policy and rules of the Society. At the fall 2014
Council meeting, the committee was asked to gather
information regarding Appendix percentage-base cows and
how many of those females are active in up-breeding
programs. The committee is requesting additional data
reports from the CLRC. Committee member Lisa Lovett
made a suggestion to study possible options of how Belted
Galloway percentage females could be recorded to support
crossbreeding programs versus up-breeding programs.
President Ogle asked the committee to meet after the CLRC
percentage reports become available. President Ogle
suggested the committee formulate questions so that the
membership could be surveyed in the future.
PAGE 5
Hypotrichosis Policy. President Ogle formulated a
recommendation to Council to make hypotrichosis testing
available to breeders through UC Davis. UC Davis has
confirmed with Ogle that they can test for hypotrichosis by
submitting hair, blood or semen. Ogle explained that UC
Davis is also the lab the Society uses to verify DNA
parentage. Turnaround time will be improved because testing
can be ordered on an individual animal, rather than the
current procedure of batch-processing several samples at the
University of Illinois. Council approved the recommendation
to make UC Davis the chosen test lab for hypotrichosis. Vic
Eggleston will be in communication with UC Davis and he
will update the membership when testing will begin.
Eggleston said the testing policy will be in the same format
as parentage DNA testing. A breeder will contact his office
to generate the paperwork required for testing. The member
requesting the test will mail the sample to UC Davis. Results
will be forwarded to the member by Eggleston. To encourage
hypotrichosis testing, the Society is absorbing the associated
clerical and handling costs. The fee for hypotrichosis testing
will remain at $20. In addition, DNA parentage testing may
be done using the same sample of blood, hair or semen. DNA
parentage testing is $50. Both fees are payable to the Society.
Hypotrichosis results will be used by the Society for
statistical purposes only and will not be released to anyone
other than the member that applied for the test. Council
approved creating a special mailing (summer 2015) to
address hypotrichosis in the Belted Galloway breed, and to
help breeders identify and minimize its effects.
This is a summary of committee reports at the Council meeting of the Belted
Galloway Society. The official minutes are on file with the Executive
Director.
Breeders’ Directory on beltie.org
Vice-President Greg Hipple
At the spring Council meeting, Council approved the return of
the breeders’ directory to beltie.org to provide an opportunity for
Society members to promote their Belted Galloway operation.
Posting to this section of beltie.org will be open to members only.
This is an opportunity for our membership to share information
about their cattle and to describe their operation. Consider writing a description of your cattle operation, and send it in for inclusion with the launch and redesign of beltie.org .
Written submission may be made directly at beltie.org or by
email. Your information should be a maximum of 150 words and
should include contact information plus your membership ID
number. The breeders’ directory is an informational page only
and is not intended to be a classified listing or link to any individual websites.
Listings may be made throughout 2015, and any new member
may submit their listing at any time. The Society will annually
review each listing and any updates may be made by members
one time per year between January 1 and March 31. Please be
sure to keep your Society membership current because the directory will be updated on March 1 of each year. Any listings with
unpaid dues will be removed. Submit your listings to Greg Hipple at [email protected].
