The Tuli is a pure African Sanga breed. The Sanga breeds were taken by the Bantu tribesmen on their southern migration, and eventually occupied most of Eastern and Southern Africa. In 1945 the Tuli breeding station was established in Zimbabwe to enhance the productivity of local herds being recognised for their increased beef production. In 1961 the breed society was formed named the Tuli Cattle Society. The natural traits of this breed, high fertility, hardiness, resistance to ticks, adaptability, docility and excellent carcass scoring have made the Tuli a natural choice for many of the top breeders. In the late 1960’s South African breeders were making inquires about introducing Tuli’s into their country. In 1977 dr. T.S Kellerman and Mr. J.J Bornmann acquired 30 heifers and 3 bulls from the Tuli Breeding Station located in Gwanda, thus launching the Tuli into South Africa. The Tuli breed was promoted in South Africa by publishing articles, holding field days, giving judging courses, and exhibiting at shows. They have now become a familiar sight at most shows in the country. The first time they were exhibited at the Warmbaths’ Show in 1981 by Mr. Bornmann, his bull, Sigidi, was judged Champion Beef Bull of the show.
