[QUOTE="R V, post: 1100472, member: 18595"] I haven't seen any Tuli nor Nguni, but we did purchase a small group of Mashona calves and we have enjoyed them. They are gentle and do have unique herding instincts compared to other American breeds. They do browse like longhorns, but seem to be easier fleshing than longhorns and Corrientes and are similar in frame to them. I couldn't winter them with the beef cattle nor the longhorns because they were getting too fat. They are due to start calving in April, so I will know more by this fall. I suspect their performance will be similar to a longhorn, but they are polled and solid colored (black and red) and hopefully they will make productive low input momma cows. I have had good luck breeding longhorn cows to a charolais bull. We will see how well these crossbred, but hopefully they all settled to the Mashona bulls for the their first calves. If the crossed calves are also solid colored, it should work well. My charolais bulls will add the width to them. [/QUOTE]
