Those Watusis intrigue me every time I see them. Stocky, that's a pretty nice set. You breeding any polled Watusis yet? :D How do they do when crossed up with Charolais?
 
Doc, sorry to disappoint you with no polled watusi cattle. That may take some scientific work that isnt possible yet. Two of the cows in the pic of the 5 cows were bred to my best charlois bull last time. One of the cows had twins, but one calf was born dead and the other cow had 1 calf. They were both bulls and they were both yellow and polled and I sold the two about 2 months ago for 1.47 per pound at just over 400 lbs each. I sold them young before they got to looking like watusi crosses. Those two cows I gave 375 each for as springers and I kept a heifer calf out of each of them, so their second calves way more than paid for the cows when bred to the charlois

I will be honest with you. I did not like them until I heard that price. $375 for any sound, healthy, young, bred cow is a good deal.

scott, yes they thrive on about anything. As you can tell in the pic we have a bad drought and all that is green is weeds. They eat anything they can get to. the horns circulate the blood to keep them cool in the summer. if you find any watusi cows at the sales barn you can buy them cheap around here. I paid 375 at the sales barn but paid 425 on the farm for the other 3 in the cow pic and 500 for the bull. the two heifers are out of some champion stock so they cost more, their mothers and babies were sold for 2500 per pair. I didnt want to pay that, so I bought the yearling past heifers. I can see a difference in the base of the horns of the heifers and the other cows that i got cheaper. they say that is the way to differentiate in the quality of watusi cattle. i dont know, i just like how gentle they are and they look pretty by the road.
 
There was a special sale last Friday night at our local sale barn in Pulaski and I saw a Watusi/Longhorn cross heifer with half her horns sawed off sell for $650.00. I bought three Longhorn cows; they had over 100 Longhorn cows and about 160 commercial beef cows and heifers. Most black (Angus, Brangus and everything in between that was black but who knows what breed they actually were), some Chars (didn't sell real well), baldies etc.

Longhorns brought anywhere from $375.00 to $800.00 each, blacks brought $400.00 to $1200.00 each.

That Watusi heifer looked really good if they had not sawed her horns, guess they did that for roping???
