Here’s a few of my Watusi.

Beautiful animals! Better fed than most that I have seen in Uganda. But you may be surprised about yoking them. I have seen them unfazed by crossed horns while in the yoke.

However, at their current ages, they may be more of a challenge to train.

I for sure won’t try and yoke this bull. I would love to see someone try though, lol. He is quite a handfull and hates people. I’m toying with having a couple of his calves broke. Just an idea at this point. I would like to see if I could bring a team to someone and hire them to keep them for as long as it takes to train them to work and be safe. Then teach me what I need to know when they are broke. I have trained lots of horses and mules to drive but don’t know anything about training cows.

You should consider bringing a couple 3 to 12 Watusi calves to a Tillers’ Oxen Basics class to learn to train them and to work them all in the same week. We’d rather do that than train them for you.

I’d love to hear from someone in the US who has worked some, as far as what their general temperament is like as working animals.
