[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1739313, member: 2703"] Sanga breeds (Bos Taurus Africanus) are represented by various locally adapted genotypes, and include Tuli, Mashona Tswana and Nguni. Len Harvey noticed a distinct genotype within the Tswana type cattle was more robust, and was better able to handle droughts and fodder shortages than the average in the Tuli area of South western Matabeleland. The foundation cattle for the Tuli breeding program were selected from these cattle, and no other genetics were introduced, so are fullblood Tswana, with thousands of years natural selection in their ancestry. The breed was not intended as a commercial breed, but rather as a multiplier herd to supply a better genotype bull to the local tribesmen to improve their commercial traits without compromising their hardiness - commercial cattlemen managed to buy stock at a later date when the breeding herd was selling off surplus cattle.
