Sheri Gurr and her husband Randy are relatively new in the world of watusi, but have jumped in with both feet. They have added many new faces to their farm Randy Gurr Watusi in Utah. http://www.rockingGwatusi.com
Then there is Mojo, Sheri’s steer. Steers make wonderful ambassadors, pasture ornaments, conversation pieces and best friends.

We all know that most animals produce around an equal number of males and females over time. Because in breeding situations the number of males needed is exponentially less than females one solution is to steer some of those extra males.
Will Ross of Ross Ranch Horns in Brownsboro, Texas rossranchhorns.com submitted to us this information on his young steer, BWS Old Red. This is a four year old steer with phenomenal growth and bloodlines. Talk about a pasture ornament.
Per Bruce: “Joy (Rider) told me that you once owned this cow and I was wondering if she has twin births in her pedigree. She had RARE twins last year, live births two days apart which vets say they have never seen happen and she looks to be carrying twins again this year. It was very hard getting her to take the second calf last year since she had already bonded with the first one. She is out of Tashina II and by Teflon Kid, and is 13 years old. Joy says she comes from a rather silly acting family as she herself was when I got her but she is a big pussycat now since I spend a lot of time with my animals. She has become a truly lovable cow and is a true pleasure to won, not to mention that she is a traffic stopper out here in rural Kentucky where most people have never seen a Watusi. I breed to an incredible Longhorn x Watusi bull I bought from Darol Dickinson that is tipping the scales at about 3000 pounds as a coming 5 year old. He is a son of Pretoria. A beautiful purple roan. The twin bulls are knock outs. I should have had them steered when small to sell as exhibition steers. Any info you have is appreciated.
One twin has black horn and one has white horn, they are both going to have great horn. The picture of June Bug does not reflect her wide and deep body, she is a big powerful girl and an easy keeper. She is rolling fat now in spite of our cold winter here. Some Watusis get thin in winter. I love the lyre horns. Have you ever seen a Longhorn x Watusi cross as beefy as Kenya? I have him sold as a herd bull but he has not been picked up yet. I will hate to see him go, he is a prince of a guy. Never has given a minute’s trouble and is dog gentle. I will load in him the pasture without gates when they come to pick him up as I do all my animals. People who buy from me can’t believe that I can do that. My bull’s sire is Pretoria who is FP. Also has bigger horns than his sire and still growing rapidly. He is taller than I am.

“I’ve never been able to sell anything in a high market in my life, lol. I’m contemplating selling these two great heifers and a young trophy steer. The only time I can make a trip south is in April. It generally takes about a month to get all the testing done.
I’ll haul as far as Utah for free and will deliver the rest of the way for fuel.
Rarely are females with these pedigrees come up for sale.

As most of our members know, Watusi cattle are occasionally offered for sale at auctions, and because of the uniqueness of the breed these offerings are quite often at exotic animal sales.
Probably the most well-known of these sales is the Lolli Brothers exotic sale held every season in Macon, Missouri. Watusi and their enthusiasts can usually be found here, particularly in the spring and fall.
The next sale is being held on Thursday, September 24 in Macon, Missouri (the WWA also holds its annual membership meeting in conjunction with this sale). See the consignments pictured below and more here.
Here are some animals consigned by Heiken’s Ark of Des Moines Iowa.
