Subscribe Now!Watusi Bull for Sale
April 22nd, 2007 by Bunk Strutts
He’s only six years old, knows five words, and can be had for only $7,500 at the homestead. Although I don’t generally like websites with soundtracks that start up unexpectedly, this one has some classic bluegrass songs.
I’ll pitch in $10 just to see the bull dance. You know. The Watusi. The ’60’s dance. What? He doesn’t? Okay, gimme a HullyGully bull instead. My $10 is still on.
“They Twist, and I’ll Twist;
“They Shimmy, and I’ll Shimmy;
“They Fly, and I’ll Fly…”
Random Watusi trivia from Anita:
Turns out the Watusi were first imported to the U.S. in the early 1900’s, and are the primary cattle seen inscribed in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Unlike most cattle, both the male and females typically have horns:
Wondering how big the horns can get? The largest ever are those of “Lurch”:
Lurch holds the world record for largest horns – they weigh over 100 pounds each, are over 3 feet in circumference, and measure eight feet from tip to tip. I’ll bet he could use a back rub after carrying those around! Here are a few more pics of lurch.

That red-colored steer you have in the middle is a Texas Longhorn.

Unlike most cattle, both the male and females typically have horns:
All horded breeds of cattle (some breeds are “polled” or without horns) exhibit horn growth in both male and female of the breed.
Actually, that red colored animal in the middle is a COW, not a steer. A steer is a male (bull) that has had his, um, Rocky Mountain Oysters cut off. Notice the Udders, or breasts, near the back…and the lack of a penis. A steer would still have his penis, and wouldn’t have udders that large.
And where do people get the idea that cows (the females) don’t have horns? I’ve had people come to my farm and say “Look at that bull!” and I’m like “where?” and they point to a COW with horns. I’m like…”Ok, that animal has breasts, does not have a penis, and does not have a scrotum…yet you think it is male? um, no!” Anyhoo…horns (in cattle, at least) are genetic, like hair or eye color. It has nothing to do with being male or female or the amount of testosterone or estrogen.
BUT, please don’t confuse horns with antlers. That’s a WHOLE other story…
Also note that the visible part of each horn is only 10 percent of the total. Oh, wait, that applies to icebergs. Nevermind.
i was wondering how much do the horns weigh?My dad delivered firewood to this nice guy and he had the third biggest bull horns in the world. sincerly duane zeestraten
