Sokoto Gudali Bull
The Sokoto Gudali Bull is one of Nigeria's most prized indigenous cattle breeds, a heavy-bodied, dual-purpose zebu breed native to the north-central and northwestern regions of the country. Known for its quality beef, strong adaptability to the Nigerian climate, and impressive mature weight of 495 - 660 kg in males, the Sokoto Gudali is the preferred breed for serious beef cattle operations across West and Central Africa. Unlike imported exotic breeds that struggle with heat and tropical diseases, the Sokoto Gudali has evolved over centuries in the Nigerian environment giving it natural resistance to heat stress, local parasites, and common cattle diseases. This makes it a lower-risk, more sustainable investment for Nigerian cattle farmers.
