Chuckie, yes, the horns are huge. The only other watusi i have owned had over an 8 foot spread and she only weighed 650 lbs. She got old and I sold her to a Chevy autombile dealership owner and he put her out in front of his dealership to attract attention. The horns are hollow and they have alot of blood circulation and that is supposed to be how they keep themselves cool in the hot weather. I have read where they were once called the cattle of kings because they are so royalty looking---if that is a word---lol. Also there are people who look for the watusi meat to eat because it is supposed to be so healthy due to being so lean. the cows do not have a big bag of milk, but because of the butterfat content the calves seem to grow well, however the breed does not weigh heavy. They weigh more like a longhorn when it comes to judging their weight.
I do enjoy having them and will be getting a camera before long to use with the computer, and after I learn how to use it, I will post some pics.
