I tried to get a couple of photos of me petting Denali today, she loves to be scratched behind her horns and under her chin. Please ignore my big stomach and bald spot. :)

Editor: This was from 2012, we apparently buried it. Sorry Rodney.
This colorful bull was used for a number of years by Bar G Watusi in Castle Dale, Utah. Many of Big Mac’s offspring and descendants have been shown to the extent that he has been the Premiere Sire at the Colorado State Fair multiple times.
Hi Everyone,
The WWA annual Membership meeting, meal and get-together will be held Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at Noland’s Catering, 3002 Jims Road, Macon, Missouri, (660)-395-9141. This is the night prior to the cattle sale. Please plan to attend…. good food, great company and a fun auction. All proceeds go to help support your association.
All too often we tend to forget that nature usually balances itself out and we have a basic 50/50 breakdown of the sexes. Watusi breeders sometimes seem to forget that one of the most popular reasons that people buy watusi cattle is as a sort of decoration. To this end we should all consider the alternative of steers. Not all males can or should be herdsires, they don’t have to be dinner either. Seeing what people like Tom Ward of Norman, Oklahoma have done with some of their excess males should open our eyes to one of these alternatives.
Derrick Passey from Alberta, Canada frequently shares his photos with us all. Here is one of today’s contributions a line up of some of his favorites. Derrick says that from ” left to right is Coon Creek Rae, Queen Jera, then our herd bull Diego.”
This young Foundation Pure bull is the new herdsire for Ross Ranch Horns in Texas.
Richard and Pam Jackson, owners and operators of J Heart Farms in Water Valley, Kentucky sent in photos to share of some of their great dams. J Heart has concentrated on color and horn, it shows.

Garret Judd of Judd Watusi Farm in Edmondton, Kentucky shared some photos of his herd. Visit him online at http://www.juddwatusi.com/.
Watusi are registered in multiple percentages from half blood up to foundation pure. This example from Will Ross of Ross Ranch Horns shows off one of his newest 1/2 blood heifers out of one of his longhorn cows and the foundation pure Watusi bull BWS Captain Butler. Will calls his babies Long-tusi. If you like color, percentage may be the way to go.
