    It' some extra weight to be carrying. Farmer pride gone mad.

    The stripped skull would look amazing though. It's a breed- Ankole-Watusi or Ankole longhorn. Was researching breeds earlier!

    The Horns: Ideally, the animal's horns rise from a large base, and they taper symmetrically to a point, describing a lyre shape as they rise above the head. They may measure six to eight feet in length, giving the animal its common name. The horns serve for defense, and with a honeycombed structure and many blood vessels, they help -- almost like a radiator -- to provide a measure of thermoregulation in the animal's harsh environment. (from DesertUSA.com)

    I was going to post that usually when a species grows abnormally large features, like the enormous tusks of Mammoths, or sabre tooth Tigers, then the species seems to be nearing extinction, but then I read the details about the cooling function of the horn. Was also going to comment on the owners readiness to mutilate their daughters, while letting their cattle escape de-horning, but that's probably not a discussion for Farming Chit-Chat! or Photos

    I was in Uganda a few years ago and saw Ankole cattle there, they certainly could not be classed as a beef breed. They are slaughtered and butchered the same day as there are no cooling facilities. The friends that we visited used to freeze the meat for a week to tenderise it. Nice enough to eat :)
    Amazing to see the horns sticking out from the top of cattle trucks/trailers :eek:

    Add a small plastic tank and a bit of carpet and you could convert them to a walking weedlicker.

    http://www.buedelmeatup.com/2012/12/04/the-difference-between-kobe-and-wagyu-beef/ Wagyu beef is intensely marbled with softer fat, has higher percentages of monounsaturated fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and is lower in cholesterol than commodity beef. The combinations of these fats deliver a distinctive rich and tender flavor compared to other beef.

    However, most people refer to it as Kobe beef, which is incorrect. Only beef that is reared in Kobe; city in Japan and the capital city of the Hyōgo Prefecture can be termed 'Authentic Kobe'

    Otherwise-

    Wa Japanese or Japanese Style

    Gyu The Japanese word for a Cow or Cattle

    Wagyu Japanese or Japanese Style Cattle.


    Now I need to warn myself for being off topic :pac::o
