Tuli cattle

Tuli cattle have a small thoraco-cervical hump and are uni-coloured: yellow, golden-brown or red.

The purpose was to establish an indigenous breed suited to the prevailing hot dry conditions.

[2] The person charged with the task of establishing this was Len Harvey, a member of the Department of Conservation and Extension under the auspice of the Ministry Of Agriculture.

The Tuli Breeding Station was purpose built and was later to also serve as a government administration center.

Len Harvey attended all of the local cattle sales and selected the animals he fancied that would prove to be good foundation stock.
