Thanks for printing our little photo story on the tired little Texas Longhorn calves. We run up to 1600 head of registered cattle here in the Appalachian foot hills of the Ohio River Valley. Click here to check our ranch web site.
In the last few years we have sent Texas Longhorn semen and embryos to your country (Australia).
Magnum in the photo above, owned by Larry Smith II. This is believed to be the widest horn with the largest base of any steer of any breed. His 120″ tip-to-tip is exactly 10 feet. Magnum is half Watusi. He is one reason DCCI is excited abut Longhorn/Watusi crosses. If you are serious about horn, this is serious horn.

Below is Miss American Pie one of our favourite cows.
Below is some of our Watusi cows and calves. The Watusi herd was first founded in 1979. DCCI was the first private Ranch to breed Watusi, collect semen, and perform embryo transfers.
This Watusi cow pictured below produced the largest weaning weight of over 350 cows in 1997. Her extra horn twist makes her a stand-out in the Watusi herd.
Below is a picture of the Summer Ranch tours that show DCCI cattle to thousands of people. Daily the Watusi are viewed by new fans.
