The North American Tuli Association serves to educate and promote the Tuli cattle breed. The organization provides through this web site information detailing why so many cattle raisers have become excited about the Tuli breed.

NATA was formed some six years ago with a Board of Directors covering the U. S., Canada and Mexico. Our dedication is to promote the breed throughout the Western Hemisphere. Our relationship with Canada and Mexico is growing, and we have exported bulls and semen throughout Mexico and South America with impressive results.

Tulis are moderate framed pure African Sanga cattle. The name "Tuli" comes from the Ndobele word "utulili," meaning dust, which vividly brings to mind a picture of the harsh, arid environment in which the Tuli developed. They thrived in the most adverse conditions and endured unbearably hot days and cold nights which enabled them to adapt to both hot and cold climates today.

"The Tuli breed can provide the missing link to bridge the gap in cattle genetics. That gap being adaptation to heat and nutritional stress combined with carcass merit."
