what breed do i have

[barb]

We bought what we were told was a zebu steer - but when i looked it up - it sure isn't what we have - here is a description of what we have if someone can help determine the actual breed????

Full grown 2year old steer (aprx 400lbs) stands about 3ft high - has horns that point straight out aprx 4-6in long) - his color is grayish/blackish - he has a hump on his shoulders - in a way he kinda has a jersey looking face - we were told its a zebu????

does anyone know?

Wildebeast? Will da beast grow anymore?

Could be a Watusi, Zebu should have a convex head, not concave like a Jersey. Also 400 lbs. is awfully light.

It is probably just a minature Zebu.

Strange looking animals, whatever they are they are not 100% Bos Indicus.
