Interesting Watusi Cattle Hunting Information:

• Watusi cattle have low-fat and low-cholesterol meat values.
• Watusi milk is around 10% fat.
• They can tolerate extreme temperatures well due to their large horns acting like radiators. Blood cools as it circulates through the horn area and then is returned to the body of the animal, allowing excess body heat to disperse.
• Watusi cattle are the showstoppers of the bovine kingdom and have been referred to as the “cattle of kings” as they traditionally been valued in Africa as ceremonial animals and symbols of wealth and power. Their ownership established one’s position in society and the beauty of their herd, especially the shape and size of their horns, was significant.
• These regal animals can easily trace their ancestry back more than 6,000 years.
