[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1820282, member: 40587"] Those were mini Zebu. All [I]bos indicus[/I] cattle are Zebu. It is the English word for[I] bos indicus[/I]. Brahman are Zebu, Gyr are Zebu. Nelore are, Indu-Brasil are. Just like the Spanish cattle imported to the new world in the early 1500;'s are called Criollo which includes several breeds. Long Horn are Criollo, Correinte are Criollo. Piney Woods, FLa Cracker and Fla Scrub are Criollo. If they carry genetics from one of the Zebu subspecies, like Sangra, they can. But not all for sure. If they all did, we'd have no polled Brangus Ankole-Watusi ( or just Watusi) are a Sangra breed of bos indicus ( Zebu) cattle . I have never seen even a reg Angus be able to poll a calf out of a pb Watusi. Closest I ever saw was scurred, but I doubt the cow as pure Watusi. Lot of people cross LH and Watusi. Some times the calf has LH-type horns, sometimes it has Watusi-type horns, but what they are trying for with this cross, is horn width of a LH, but the height and thickness of Watusi. [/QUOTE]
