About Red Fulani CattleAbout Red Fulani Cattle

Red Fulani cattle are known for their resilience and adaptability to harsh conditions. Their reddish-brown color and distinctive long lyre-shaped horns make them easily recognizable. This breed of cattle falls into the Sanga type, meaning they are intermediate between Zebu and humpless cattle, and possess cervico-thoracic humps. However, they tend to resemble Zebu more closely than other Sanga cattle. Despite the harsh environments they live in, such as extreme heat, presence of ticks, insect bites, and limited access to water and food, the Red Fulani are able to thrive. They are known by various local names, including Brahaza, Djafoun (Cameroon), Fellata (Chad and Ethiopia), Fogha, Gabassaé, Gadéhé, Hanagamba, Kréda (Chad), Mbororo, Rahaza, Red Longhorn, among others.
