Watusi Zebu HOME Afrikaner Afrikaner cattle developed from the native Hottentot cattle of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Afrikaners are medium-sized cattle with loose skin and large drooping ears.
Bulls have the typical Zebu hump.
They vary from a light tan to a deep cherry red. The animals have creamy white horns. The low maintenance Afrikaner is heat-tolerant and well adapted to withstand harsh conditions. Tick-resistance is quite adequate. They have a good temperament and are easier to handle than most Brahman-derived breeds.
