GOLD CREEK Miniature Cattle - Traditional White Galloways

We breed small, traditional White Galloways - perfect for cow cuddling. Docile & hardy- great for first-timers. Our cows were born and bred for AAT work.

Registered as miniatures, they perform well in the show ring. They're a joy to own. We breed small White Galloway cattle for the pure joy of it, in Braidwood, NSW. We are Suzanne Baker and Pamela Robinson, the owners of GOLD CREEK stud. Our cattle are for sale as paddock pets, breeding stock and Animal-Assisted Therapy co-workers. Our cattle are registered, full blood and purebred White Galloways.

Don't let their stud credentials put you off. They make great paddock pets. You can adopt a cow or calf and visit them on our farm (adoption is sponsoring, not buying).

The has wind picked up again and so has the calf count. This is why we need to have terms like 'ridiculously cute'. Storm Chaser and Rosslyn have teamed up to produce this beautiful, tiny, jet black bull.

Look at what the wind blew in! When the wind blows here, you never know what will happen next. It has been blowing a gale for days. Yes, we have our first ever Beltie - Belted Galloway. (We also breed a small number of unregistered Galloways to keep things interesting).

"My mum keeps licking me, so I tried to lick her back. I missed. It is harder than it looks. Do you think I should just practise more!?" Little Harriet and Haddie.

16/08/2024

I love my new name - it is Hugo. Thank you to the wonderful people who came up with it!

16/08/2024

We think Harriet is a good name for her. What do you suggest? Following in the 'H' tradition starting with grandmother Hope, (Haddie's sisters Hush and Harlee and Haddie herself). This one has to start with 'H'.

14/08/2024

Little mister is making himself comfortable with the cows. He walks around all of them each morning and here he is sidled up to Hush. He is already plastering mud in his curls just like he's watched the 'big bulls' doing!! Bless his little heart.

14/08/2024

We went to Canberra yesterday and spent a fortune on... I can't remember what! We came home to discover Haddie had a brand new little heifer calf running around. A heifer - the perfect end to a long day.

13/08/2024

Did she listen to her mother? No.😍🥰😘 Jamboree and Stanley.😘😍🥰

10/08/2024

Bessie and Roxy - wouldn't you just love to hear snippets of their conversation? Just taking in the winter sun and chatting away. They have been in with Storm Chaser for almost a week, now. So, life is about to get very interesting for these first-timers.

09/08/2024

Nine days old and he's seriously practising his, 'I am the bull' look. We haven't settled on a name yet. What are everyone's favourites from the suggestions so far? Does not need to be a V name.

09/08/2024

Haddie & Lulu - the next two to calve. They love being out in the back paddock.

07/08/2024

Jujube has decided it is time to have 'that' mother daughter talk with Jamboree. Three heifers went with some cows to join Stanley (the bull) yesterday. Stanley was paying young Jamboree far too much attention, as far as her mother was concerned. So, Jujube (the white cow), has just finished giving her daughter (the black heifer), a little 'heads up' on what to expect if she's not careful.

02/08/2024

Just in case you thought he couldn't possibly be that cute.

02/08/2024

It is that time again, this gorgeous boy needs a name. His mother is Gold Creek Jubilee (Jaffa) and his father is Puddleby Stanley. The letter for the year is V. A good name, is a good name, so none of that or only some of that need apply. He is strong, lively and sweet natured.

30/07/2024

Body heat! Jaffa and her bull calf are surrounded by heavy frost. Their little grass shelter is frost free and he isn't even shivering. Clever Jaffa keeping close to keep him warmer.

26/07/2024

Jaffa gave me the 'I am not to be messed with' look this afternoon. She is 283 days pregnant and in no mood for anyone or anything. I left her in peace.

22/07/2024

NEWS FLASH - IT'S A GIRLl!!
It turns out that Tilly had a little heifer calf, not a bull!! Even more for the new custodians to smile about.

20/07/2024

Poor little Lucy is trying to find shelter from the wind between the big girls. This is after the wind dropped suffciently for me to go outside for a couple of minutes.

20/07/2024

Anthony and Saeran can relax. They know their new bull calf has been up and had a drink from his mum now.

20/07/2024

"No, not even a little bit funny!" according to Saffy, who is not one bit happy that I'm laughing at her ears. This is what two days of arctic wind does to a Galloway's hair do! Weatherzone reported that the temperature was at 5 degrees at 10:00 am but feeling like minus 4 thanks to the near gale force wind.

20/07/2024

Look what Tilly did this morning (at her new home). A healthy, happy, beautiful, little dun bull calf. Tilly's new custodians, Anthony, and Saeran couldn't be happier. The calf has already had a sleep on Anthony's boots.

19/07/2024

Today was AFF - absolutely fantastic fun. It was also AFF - absolutely freaking freezing. The cows haven't had any attention for days, so none of them wanted to miss out on some love. Staying warm, brushing cows and holding a conversation while your nose is running, your eyes are watering and every body part is shivering certainly burns up some energy. Big morning in the paddock.

12/07/2024

Saffy in the front proudly posing for me. Millie is standing behind her whinging and sulking - "Now you want to take a photo! Can't you see I have the sun in my eyes?"

07/07/2024

Haddie is struggling to find the funny side of being this heavily pregnant and this uncomfortable. We have our fingers crossed for a little heifer calf for Haddie this time.

07/07/2024

What's this? I thought we had a Scottish Highland cow or a yak calf in the paddock. Just Roxy keeping warm in winter.

05/07/2024

Magnificent Millie. The sun is behind her head, making her look angelic. Only moments before the photo, she was actually being a little bit beastly!

28/06/2024

Lucy loves her life. Especially when she has organised all of her favourite things to happen at the same time - eating, sunshine, lovely people and being brushed.

22/06/2024

Do you think you can pinpoint the exact moment I told Jaffa I think her weight gain is actually related to her having a new calf in about 6 weeks!?

14/06/2024

Roxy is miffed. "What's going on!? Little Doogie here is running around telling everyone he is going somewhere special and we can't come!"

'Baby' names.

Haddie's precious little girl. We think Harriet is a good name for her (following in the 'H' tradition starting with grandmother Hope, Haddie's sister Hush and Haddie herself). Let us know what you think. This one has to start with 'H'.

Naming Haddie's baby girl.

Just in case you thought he couldn't possibly be that cute.

All is well.

Anthony and Saeran can relax. They know their new bull calf has been up and had a drink from his mum now.

It's a Hard Life. Twenty minutes of sunshine, a calf in my lap and views forever! Please enjoy (while I recover from the blisters from trekking to the top of our hill, in gumboots, and getting then absolutely drenched coming back down)

Woody - Living the Dream

Woody - he is just so kissable. He and his friend Harlee are heading to Melbourne on Sunday. It will be the start of a new life enjoying lots of interaction at Living Life Support Services (support for children and adults with disabilities.)

Lucy loves me too!

How do we decide where to send our sweet pet steers? We ask a lot of questions. A whole lot of questions. When we get updates like this, we know we are asking the right people the right questions. This is Rowdy living the dream with his best mate Reggie. (They are both at Adelle & Steve's place).

Tilly's awake and saying thank you to her little bodyguard. Tilly was so happy - she got a full 25 minute rest!

This melted my heart. Cuddilly Greanna is being a little bodyguard while Tilly has a well earned rest.

Blowin' in the Wind - Storm Girl. Can you believe her gorgeous long eyelashes? (Usually just the little bull calves get them).

Some days they just melt your heart.

It's Sunday and the dump trucks are still rolling in. At long last, our driveway is getting some serious maintenance work. Graders, rollers, lots of trucks, the whole kit and caboodle. Visitors to the paddocks won't need a 4WD to come up the driveway anymore.

Tilly and her baby bull. Even we can't believe how small he is and we have seen some small calves over the years. (Not registered purebred Galloway cattle.)

Tilly had a gorgeous tiny bull calf this morning. We think we'll call him Teddy. What do you think? (Not a purebred bull calf).

That innocent face. He knows he shouldn't be in the yards. Woody snuck in with the heifers and tucked into their rice pellets.

Snuggle is getting some love and attention.

It is hard to see White Galloways in the snow. The calves were not sure what to make of the cold white stuff yesterday. So very, very unexpected to see it snowing in Braidwood.
