The Ankole Longhorn Cow

The Ankole Longhorn Cow / Cattle – one of the animals I was most excited to see during my time in uganda. They are still seen today as a sign of wealth and are used to pay the price of a dowry during marriage.

They are hardy animals who can sustain life of scarce amount of food and water. They have been in Africa for thousands of years. With genes linking back all the way to Eurasian cattle. Really amazing to see.
