Sitkinak Island, located 115 miles from the town of Kodiak Alaska, is home to the wild ungulates we raise also known as "cattle". Our cattle live wild and free, thriving in the coastal island environment they have adapted to. Introduced in 1937, the cattle breeds range from Black Angus to Galloway. There are also red angus, hereford, charolais, santa gertrudis, scottish highlander, and short horn. The Galloway breed has proven to be a very well adapted breed type for Sitkinak Island. These cattle have a frame size average of 2.5 to 3, weighing 1000 to 1200 lbs.
To the relief of the free-range cattle on Sitkinak, there are no resident brown bears (or predators) that reside on the island, allowing the cattle to be the largest and dominant animal roaming the hills. They co-exist well with the foxes and other wildlife on the island. The galloway cattle (also known as "Oreo Cows") all have a while "belt" around their midsection which makes them easy to recognize.
