Hi,
Just wondering if there is anything for use as Zulu Cattle. The Oxen and Water Buffalo are different but at a push i could use them.

I do alot of Modern African Wargaming, and one of my scenarios is a Modern Cattle Raid.

I used to live in Natal; I don't remember ever seeing any cattle with horns like that. I daresay breeds are less distinct in this day, mind you.

When i lived in Kenya and Somalia, the cattle were Zebu like.

Very similar to what I used to see the Fulani herding in Nigeria. And yes, they did have big horns.

I saw some cattle when I watched "Zulu" in Cleckheaton.

Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

Apologies for this serious answer; how about the Boer War oxen that come with the cart? I ordered several seperate to enlarge the teams and Leon was very helpfull in providing those!
They don't wear any harnesses or yoke (that is the correct spelling, right...?) so could be usefull perhaps...?

Correct unless they've got egg on their faces.
