Spring Updates

At our spring 2021 get-together and board meeting several items have been modified.    We want to expand our reach out for scholarship applicants.  Anyone that has high school juniors or seniors in their life heading for college or connections to an FFA, 4H or other agriculture  programs that might be interested in Watusi should check out our program.

Bull registration rules:  “All bulls, Foundation Pure or Native Pure, must be registered by the breeder or the owner of the dam at the time of birth.  Priivate or farm sales of bulls are eligible for registration by breeder and transfer into new owner’s name at time of registration.   Any bull being sold at an auction sale must be accompanied by the hard copy of the registration papers or access to it.  Bulls cannot be sold at auction on application for registration with the exception of calves less than 60 days of age being sold at the dam’s side. Any bull calves sold at auction at dam’s side must be registered with 30 days of sale.”

We will be posting our completed updated Rules on this website in the future.

Watusi Sale at Lolli Bros

Happy spring everyone.  We all hope that everyone is happy and safe and welcoming those beautiful babies.  Our current craziness is stressing everyone so perhaps spring is natures way of showing us the way up and out.

As we obviously already know our spring sales were postponed and to that end the Lolli Bros, rescheduled the majority of their sale to May 13 through the 15th.   Watusi will sell on Thursday May 14.

Due to the craziness that has enveloped us all, the WWA Board of Directors has decided not to host our annual spring fling and get-together.  The Board of Directors will hold s meeting at the Comfort Inn at 5:00 pm in the hotel meeting room.  Although our meetings are open to all members we ask that no one other than board members attend so that we can address proper social distancing.  After the meeting the members will be available to anyone that wishes to visit or address issues.  We still request that all social distancing protocols be observed.
