What colours do Nguni Cattle come in?
Nguni cattle are the multi-coloured cattle belonging to the Nguni people of Southern Africa –The Xhosa, Zulu, Swazi and Venda people.
Why don’t you dehorn the cattle?
Horned animals have their hierarchy in the herd. Horns are used for thermo-regulation and cooling of the animal. Horned livestock are better able to defend themselves and their young from predators. It is historical to the Nguni cattle breed to have horned and natural polled animals coexisting with each other. Seeing patterned horned animals is, pleasing to the eye.
