This Ankole female was trying to get the attention of the bull. They were alone in the cordoned off field and I think they were supposed to reproduce. I watched them for ages.
The breed can be traced back to the hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians. They migrated down the Nile and ended up in Uganda, were then brought to SA. They are know for their lean meat and milk quality. The horns are "honeycombed" and connected to airways, which help the cattle to regulate their body temperature. They thrive on low quality forage and are tick resistant.
That is so interesting- the horns look massive and heavy but being that they are not solid, now I understand why the cattle never look like they're overburdened by them. This sounds like an excellent breed to raise with so many benefits. Good shot!
Wow. Impressing animals. Even they are young. Beautiful shot. @ludwigsdiana No, the market makes the price. And with the boycot of Russia they decrease a lot.
