Miniature Belties

[Orion]

I apologize in advance if this is inappropriate for this web forum.
I wouldn't expect that these creatures are a normal part of bushwalking; they certainly aren't native wildlife.
That said, can anyone tell me where I might go to see them in Tasmainia?

We saw them once on the way to climb Mt. Anne. They seem as elusive as the platypus.

Belted Galloways are fairly common on farms. My son has some, now on his partner's mother's property in Launceston. I've also seen then on Tasman Peninsula and many other parts of Tas. Also saw quite a few in South Island of NZ recently.

Belted Galloways are pretty common on hobby farms, take a drive through regions like the huon valley where there are lots of small hobby farms and your bound to see them.

Have observed many Belted Galloways around Tassie but cannot recall seeing any Miniatures sorry.

We've got them in vic. This pic is of Baby Ben (Sinclair). His mum is Blair, aunty Pendles..... If you know footy, in particular Collingwood FC, then these names will make sense. Beautiful animals, my father keeps asking when will they grow up as he is used to friesian cows.
