Belted Galloway
Commonly called "Oreo cattle" because of their black color (possibly brown or red) with a white stripe through their middles, this breed started in Scotland as a solid-color cow, but got their belts through the introduction of Dutch Belted blood. They were first imported to the U.S. in 1950. (Successful Farming)
