| Only 35 Watusi grace DCCI among over a thousand registered Longhorns and BueLingo. |
In 1979 the Dickinson family owned 1/4th of the Full Blood Watusi in the USA. (see our first ad)
 |
| Himba has the most total hair to tip horn of any DCCI cow. She is very gentle and the dam of Zozie. She is the type of cow that forces you to love this extreme breed. |
 |
| These
Watusi are beautiful front pasture attractions. |
Due to the extremely high prices that they fetched in the early 80's, ($20K-$25K) every Watusi was sold.
As years went by, we still are fascinated by the world's largest horned breed of cattle. In 1996 we started raising a small group.
Each year some Longhorn/Watusi cattle will be available and now several purebred are for sale.

| Sangazan is the highest horned Watusi at DCCI. Mr. Immambo bull calf at side. |
Semen is available on the famous "Jimmy The Sweede" ($12) who was imported from Sweden. He was bred natural service at DCCI and was the first Watusi with frozen semen in the World. He is the leading sire appearing in more Watusi pedigrees than any other bull.
At this time, we plan to develop a herd of Longhorn percentage Watusi steers. We believe with careful selective mating 8' and 10' steers can be produced that will be awesome exhibition or riding stock.
Each year some young Watusi bulls are for sale. Bulls may be purchased
with a 50% deposit with delivery at weaning time. DCCI specializes in spotted,
colorful Watusi with wide lateral horn. The Texas Longhorn blood in 15/16,
7/8, and 3/4 Watusi add stamina, soundness and brilliant color. DCCI is
a lifetime member of the World Watusi Association.

Zena is a Native Pure 1997 daughter of Adventure. She has a new Mr. Immambo heifer at side. Every Mr. Imambo calf from red Watusi cows is this same color pattern which traces to our first Full Blood Watusi - ZANDER. |
 |
Baby Jane is half Watusi and half Longhorn. She is a beautiful cow. |
 |
Summer Ranch tours show DCCI cattle to thousands of people. Daily the Watusi are viewed by new fans. |

Mr. Immambo was the DCCI Herd Sire for 4 years until his death in 2003, he was 100% pure Watusi and his 77" tip-to-tip horns were very impressive. He was very laid back and had a great disposition. Semen is still available on Mr. Immambo for $20. |
 |
The Watusi herd was first founded in 1979. DCCI was the first private Ranch to breed Watusi, collect semen, and perform embryo transfers. |
 |
This Watusi cow produced the largest weaning weight of over 350 cows in 1997. Her extra horn twist makes her a stand-out in the Watusi herd. |

Miss All American Pie is the dam of Akeem. She is an Excalibur daughter, and one of our favorite cows. |
