Looking for all-weather cattle breed? try boran

Suyian ranch borans during the Livestock Breeders Show at Jamhuri grounds Arena [David Gichuru, Standard]

I am an indigenous cattle breeds fan, although I have exotic crosses the allure of our local breeds is something I seem not to get over. I still have zebus on my farm and I am looking for others.
