[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1224715, member: 2703"] Several African breeds and composites have been imported since 1990, while there was interest in these breeds since the 60's, political policies prevented most from being imported, though some early research was done by several universities prior to them actually being imported. While the Senepol was imported in 1977 from St Crux island where they were developed from a composite of African N'dama and British Red Poll cattle, the rest of the African breeds presently represented in the USA imported since 1990 are, Tuli, Mashona and the composite Bonsmara. There is interest in several other breeds by some larger ranchers, notably the Boran and Dragensberger which might come via Australia as they are already represented there. These breeds are showing a steady increase, but fortunately not proving to be fad breeds, more seedstock producers are needed as sales of bulls for crossbreeding exceed present demand. [/QUOTE]
