Delight is a Scottish Belted Galloway, a breed bred for beef. Its distinctive belted marking, compact, sturdy build and pleasant personality have made it a strong favorite in recent years in the US. They are easy to handle, and very hardy. They enjoy all kinds of weather and are not at all fussy where food, temperature, or companions are concerned - pretty happy campers all the way around!

Delight was orphaned as a newborn and raised by her owners as a bottle baby in their garage, and later, in their barn with other Belties. She has always retained that people-friendly, cuddly disposition that probably stems from her close start in life with human companions before cow companions.

Delight has had two bull calves named Googly Moogly and Jiggle The Handle, and a heifer calf named Holy Moly. In 2002, Delight delivered a heifer calf, though the calf apparently had a birth defect and did not survive more than a few days. That was very sad; Delight is a very good mom and easy to be around. She takes great care of her babies.Delight calved on March 18, 2003. This was her fifth calf and was a cute little bull.

In the Scottish Belted Galloway breed, the convention calls for a name to be alphabetical based on the year an animal was born. This year, it is "N". The baby bull was named "Nabisco".
