African Watusi
The photo was taken in 1998 or thereabouts within the Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda. At that time there were many such beautiful herds but they are increasingly rare outside the ranches of the Bahima elite. The majority are unable to continue to keep such herds because they are settled on small plots of land, with limited water and need to earn revenue for school fees and such like from milk. The majority are therefore cross breeding with exotic breeds to increase milk and meat production.

More Spring Fling
We had active participation in our Spring Fling for dinner and our fun auction. We were thrilled to actually meet our Registrar, Robin Hancock and her husband. We had several newer members there such as The Deline family from Michigan and the Edward’s family from Oklahoma. A good time was had by all and as always we enjoyed the great food from Nolands Catering. We want once again to thank the Comfort Inn in Macon from donating the meeting room it was greatly appreciated.
More sad news….
A part of this life unfortunately includes our losses. We wish to extend our condolences to Vernon Base in the loss of his mother, Alice in March 2015. Alice was 92 years old at the time of her passing, we should all be so blessed to have our loved ones so long.
