About Us
At Ogilvie Stockworks, we’re proud to do things a little differently. Rooted in tradition but driven by purpose, our ranch is built on quality, sustainability, and care — for the land, our animals, and the people we serve. We chose to raise Belted Galloways because they embody everything we value. Not only do they produce incredibly healthy, lean, and flavorful beef, but they’re also hardy, low-maintenance cattle— perfectly suited for a thoughtful and responsible ranching operation. Their natural resistance to harsh conditions and easygoing nature means we can focus more on ethical practices and land stewardship, not constant intervention.
Our mission is simple: raise cattle the right way, treat our animals with respect, and provide families with beef they can trust — from our pastures to your plate.
Welcome to Ogilvie Stockworks — where quality is bred, not manufactured.

FAQS
What makes Belted Galloway beef healthier than other breeds?
Belted Galloway beef is naturally leaner with lower saturated fat and cholesterol levels than many traditional beef breeds. Despite being lean, it still delivers rich flavor thanks to its fine marbling — making it a heart-healthier choice without sacrificing taste.
Does Belted Galloway beef taste different?
Yes — in the best way. Belty beef is known for being exceptionally tender, flavorful, and juicy. Their slow growth and grass-fed diet contribute to a beef that's clean-tasting and rich, with a distinct depth that chefs and beef lovers rave about.
How are Belted Galloways raised differently?
Belted Galloways are incredibly efficient grazers and thrive on pasture-based systems. They don’t require grain-heavy diets to finish well, which means their meat is often 100% grass-fed and more natural. This leads to cleaner, more sustainable beef — raised with less stress and more space.
