RIP Joe Cocker

The World Watusi Association would like to express our condolences to the friends and family of the well known rock and roll artist Joe Cocker.  Those of us in our ‘twilight years’ knew Joe from his music and Woodstock from our teens, but more recently we at the WWA knew him and his wife Pam as lifetime members of the World Watusi Association.  Joe and Pam owned and operated the Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford, Nebraska.  The Mad Dog bloodlines and logo appear in much of the WWA lore.  Joe was 70 years old and had been battling cancer for some time.  He will be missed.

A Sad Goodbye

It is with a heavy heart that we announce to our membership that Don Zavislan has passed away. Don was instrumental in the promotion and breeding of Watusi cattle and of the World Watusi Association. His contribution to this breed will continue as long as Watusi cattle are registered and bred. Don was a good friend to the breed and many of the WWA members, he will be missed.

His family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Pueblo Zoo, 3455 Nuckolls Avenue, Pueblo, CO 81005.
