“Our goal is to expand on the love and care that previous stewards have invested in this land, making it a legacy." - Travis Tucker, Owner
The Watusi breed is Contigo’s cattle of choice because of its hardy grazing capabilities and easy going temperament. The breed is highly social and easily moved from pasture to pasture. An interesting characteristic of this breed involves being very protective of each other. At night they tend to form a circle, with adults laying on the outside, horns out, to protect the young located within the inner circle. Watusi may be solid colored or spotted. Some unusual spotting patterns are found in some of the more valuable Watusi, including one in which black or brown runs across the top of the animal with white on the lower body. As you’ll see out on the ranch, the Watusi are characterized by their exceptionally large and distinctive horns.
