Any Boran or Red Sindhi in the US?

[Australian Cattleman]

Does anyone breed Red Sindhi or Boran in the US?
I'm very interested in Boran and always liked Sindhis. The Sindhis are the backbone of a lot of the original Red Brahmans in Australia.There are very few Sindhi and Boran breeders in Australia.

My parents got me World Book Encyclopedia in 1976 and it listed Red Sindhi as a minor dairy breed of bos Indicus lineage adapted to warm climates. When I arrived at Auburn in the lates 80s and asked the dairy people where I could see some Red Sindhi dairy cows, they didn't know what I was talking about. That is the sum of my knowledge of Red Sindhis in the U.S. and I am only vaguely aware that Boran is a breed of cattle. Of course I don't get to the shows as much as some on this board do.

All I know about Boran is that Texas A&M at Overton did a study of them and Tuli several years ago.

The improved Boran and the Bonsmara have been imported but are both difficult to find. The Tuli are growing in number but demand for bulls outstrips supply at present, and I struggled to get my foundation females.
The Bonsmara seems to operate in a closed market here for some reason, and the improved Boran hasn't been promoted.
