Watusi

overview

The Watusi is a striking cattle breed recognized for its massive, long horns that can span up to eight feet! Native to Africa, this breed is highly valued by pastoral communities for its adaptability, milk, and symbolic cultural significance. Watusi cattle are well-suited to harsh environments, thriving on minimal water and forage. Watusi also lay in a circle facing out with calves in the centre due to their strong protection instincts.
