"Our Galloways are like extensions of our own family. The different family bloodlines are truly remarkable, producing strong traits of good performance, growth and character.  The have been loyal and steadfast.

"We have watched them grow and produce for others, improving and adding new dimensions and character to their herds.  Our cattle have continually provided acclaim for our family.  We are very proud to say our patrons have been pleased with the performance of these families.
 
"Now we begin a new chapter in the 'Avonlea' saga.  Our son has taken a wife, Jennifer.  They are 'settling' on Avonlea, the home farm.  They will add deeper and richer character to our family with the introduction of a horse facility that includes:  22 boarding stalls, a feed room, tack room, wash rack, indoor/outdoor riding arenas, lounge and office and last but not least an apartment.  This operation has aptly been nicknamed the 'Taj MaHorse.'  It also provides clients with six paddocks, outdoor housing, indoor and outdoor arenas, training and lessons, and trail riding.
 
"Our daughter Ciaran has extended the McIlwraith name with two wonderful grandsons and you can well imagine how much colour and excitement Christopher and Stuart bring to the family scene.  We are rich beyond our wildest dreams!
 
"Our daughter Julie and her finance Noah have the pressures of providing the family with a beautifully complementing 'femme fatale' for our future .  But there is no rush to complete this perfect picture.  What will be, will be in time.
 
"And so, you have been introduced to us visually and verbally in cyber-space.  Please come and visit us personally, we would love to host you and yours."

      Regards,
 
      Yours In Galloways,
      Everyone at Glenfiddich!
