[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 609822, member: 615"] YES. Longhorns originated from Spanish cattle. Watusi are from Africa. Their native environments is the source of most of their differences. Longhorns are generally a very docile breed, whereas Watusi (if I am remembering all this correctly) are more of a wild (as in not-domestic, not crazy) breed because of their origins in the wilderness of Africa. So, the breeders look for a certain "alertness" in the females, as an indicator of their mothering abilities. Also the horns differ. I'm not sure of the composition of the horns of Watusi, however, I am pretty sure there are some differences. Also the attachment to the skull of a Watusi and Longhorn differ some. Outside of being bovine, not solid colored (for the most part), and having horns, the Longhorn and Watusi are not that similar. Ryan [/QUOTE]
