As most of our members know, Watusi cattle are occasionally offered for sale at auctions, and because of the uniqueness of the breed these offerings are quite often at exotic animal sales.
Probably the most well-known of these sales is the Lolli Brothers exotic sale held every season in Macon, Missouri. Watusi and their enthusiasts can usually be found here, particularly in the spring and fall.
The next sale is being held on Thursday, September 24 in Macon, Missouri (the WWA also holds its annual membership meeting in conjunction with this sale). See the consignments pictured below and more here.
Here are some animals consigned by Heiken’s Ark of Des Moines Iowa.
We are pleased to announce that we have volunteers that are taking over programs for the Association. We have many new, young members and are hoping that their energy and enthusiasm will be infectious.
Rachael Moore of Cameron, Missouri has taken on the job of producing a newsletter for the association. Any personal story or bragging to be done about your livestock or just something that might catch your interest could be shared with our members through the newsletter and this website. If you have any contributions or photos or stories feel free to contact Rachel at 816-645-7461 or rlmoore091011@gmail.com.
A small organization like ours can always use more help in fund-raising, and our new volunteer Lissa Pabst of Hotchkiss, Colorado is up to the task! Any suggestions that you might have for fund raising can be run past Lissa. We have promotional items for sale at the WWA office in Texas. Lissa may be contacted at 970-201-5525 tractorlas@gmail.com.
Watusi will be on display Friday, September 18 at the Kansas State Fair. The show will be Saturday, September 19 at 11:00am.
Visit their website at www.kansasstatefair.com for more information, or contact Anne Lampe at alampe@wbsnet.org or by phone at 620.874.4273.

Just a friendly reminder to all owners of Registered Watusi cattle. If you have an animal die, please return your certificate to the office for cancellation and updating of records.
It is with regret that the Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of our Director Jeff Voss from Briley Farm in Oakland, Florida. Jeff’s contributions to the Association with his tireless participation in our operations as well as his management of his herd of quality watusi cattle have greatly improved our Association. Jeff is not leaving us or the cattle, but business interests are making it difficult for him to put as much time into this endeavor. We want to thank him for everything he has done.
The Board has appointed for the balance of Jeff’s term Don Morgan from the CST Ranch in Keystone Heights, Florida. Don can be reached by email at dmorgsupsi@aol.com, his phone number is 352-577-4149. We want to welcome Don to the board and look forward to his vibrant participation.
