Wanna teach me how to eat them like oreos:ROFL:
I know! Old beltie joke around beltie breeders. I love crushed Oreo cookies in the milk. mmmm. yum. Actually I ate Oreo steer and it was way tasty than these ones in store (who knows what breed the meat come from).

Oh god, the African cattle look so sweet...too bad they cant tolerate Minnesota winters. They are def. king of the cows make the longhorn look tiny horns.

Mini zebu look cute and very lightweight compared to other mini breeds and VERY CHEAP! ( well they were cheaper in my area anyways)

Not all exotic cattle breeds are suited for beef and dairy.

Do you know Scottish highlander and Belted galloway were both created in Scotland?

my favorite have to be long horn breeds of zebu (like angoli catle)
Are those the ones with the 6'+ span of horns that are like a foot thick? Those are awesome! My family stayed at Disney World's Animal Kingdom Lodge a couple years ago. All the rooms there look out over huge savannah exhibits and ours included a herd of those. The bull had MASSIVE horns.

Oh yeah! I believe theres two or three breeds of African cattle we seen in United States called: Ankole, Ankole-Watusi and Watusi. They are AWESOME!!! These african cattle make our Texas longhorn's horns look puny and skinny. I believe these african cattle in United States were just bred for its horn and attraction, not beef or rodeo.

Move to Texas, you'll be tired of long horns in no time! :D

Theres Lurch! The Famous World Record steer with biggest horns. He's Longhorn x Watusi cross, man he was so awesome! Shame that hes neutered, otherwise he will be good canditate for breed more cows with bigger horns.
