Hi everyone.  As we all look excitedly towards the change of seasons we should mark our calendars with our coming watusi events.

Watusi are sold at a number of different venues, including exotic animal sales all over the country.  The largest of these that usually carries the largest number of animals is the Lolli Bros Exotic Sale held in Macon, Missouri.  The Watusi will sell on Thursday, April 11, 2013.  Plan to attend early.  For more information go to http://lollibros.com/ExoticSales/tabid/55/Default.aspx.

Keep in mind that summer and fall will bring shows, such as the Kansas State Fair and Colorado State Fair.  It is never too early to start deciding who you want to show off.

Also remember that we elect 3 members to our Board of Directors each year.  If you are interested or know of someone else who might be interested in running, feel free to contact the office, our Secretary (Pam Jackson) or any board member for further information.

A Death in the Family

I regret to inform everyone that Princess Hillary has passed away.  She died Friday 1-11-12 at 18 years and 2 months old at my place in East Texas.  I’m sure most of you are familiar with this great cow as she has calves from Texas to Canada and in between.  From what I’ve learned in my short time dealing with Watusi, I think it’s safe to say she positively impacted the breed with great magnitude.  Her last calf born was a heifer calf and is currently happily eating hay in my pasture.  It was a sad day at the ranch and she will be missed.  Her loud unique bellow will only be heard on YouTube from now on.  I hope all is well and that you’re all having a great new year.

Who needs a chute?

WWA Board member, Rodney Barnhart, submitted this photo with the caption “I guess that I wasted all that money on a fancy longhorn squeeze chute…”  Well that might be the case, but at minimum wage the cost of 1 hour of this operation would exceed $150.00, might make that chute seem more reasonable.
