Category Archives: Breedsires

Breedsires are animals that exemplify the Ankole-Watusi breed and provide a reference for breed standards. (Note: In the beginning of the registry animals were registered because of their background; however, many of the ancestry animals had no names and were never registered. For these reasons we simply refer to the origin of the ancestors.)

Sea Wolf

This is the late but well-known breedsire Sea Wolf, used for many years by Duane and Kolene Gilbert of Bar G Watusi. His lyre-shaped horns and speckled coat are seen in many of his offspring.

You can find Sea Wolf genetics in show champions and the bloodlines of many current foundation pure animals.

King Louis

King Louis was a large red bull sired by the famous Valentino of the Busch Gardens, Tampa Florida breeding program and out of the cow Fraulien who was an imported cow from the Frankfurt Zoo in Germany. Louis shows up many times in bloodlines of the World Watusi Association records. Although he was used on a few foundation pure cows he was ultimately used extensively on percentage animals by Liar’s Lake of Sparta, Missouri producing over 200 offspring.

Liar’s Lake Kenya Jim

Liar’s Lake Kenya Jim was born at Texas Safari in 1988. He has been used extensively as a sire by Liar’s Lake having produced over one hundred calves. Jimmy was sired by Heinz, of the Catskill Game Farm breeding lines, and out of Kathy, one of the highest selling Watusi cows of the last decade. Kathy was from the Rare Animal Survival Center, Ocala, Florida.

Lolli’s Spit Fire

Lolli’s Spit Fire is a wonderful example of close line breeding producing an outstanding individual and a beautiful calf of Foxfire. His horns measure 26 inches in circumference at the base, making him one of the largest horned individuals in the breed. He was used for a few years by the Lolli Brothers of Macon, Missouri prior to finding a home with Heiken’s Ark in Des Moines, Iowa.

 

Masterpiece, WWAFP129

Masterpiece was Grand Champion Foundation Pure bull at the Colorado State Fair multiple times, a well deserved honor. Masterpiece was one of the largest bulls in the breed weighing in at 2305 pounds at the age of 5 years. He was the product of the Great Adventure Park in Jackson, New Jersey in 1980.   He was used extensively by the Zavislan Ranches in Pueblo West, Colorado mostly on percentage animals.

Rambo, WWAFP307

Rambo was born at the Rare Animal Survival Center in Ocala, Florida and proved the successful result of one of the original breeding programs in the United States. Rambo had it all, a body weight of 1600 pounds; horn circumference of 23 inches; 41 inch length to each individual horn and 54 inches from tip to tip (not measured along the curves). There is no question that this bull was one of the best representatives of this special breed.  He was used by the famous Catskill Game Farm in their purbred program for most of his life and can be found in the background of many of the top animals of the Watusi breed.  Rambo
