NYALA Fun Facts
- The Nyala is native to the lowland forests and dense bush of southern Africa, particularly Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
- Adult bulls are dramatically different from females — males are dark charcoal-brown with white vertical stripes, while females are chestnut-colored with bold white markings.
- Mature Nyala bulls can weigh between 230–280 lbs and stand up to 43 inches at the shoulder.
- Their spiral horns can reach 28–33 inches in length, making them a prized genetics target for breeders focused on conformation and horn development.
- Nyala are highly adaptable and acclimate well to Texas Hill Country and Cross Timbers terrain, making them an excellent choice for exotic ranches in Callahan County and surrounding areas.
- As a medium-sized antelope, Nyala are well-suited as both breeding stock and stocker animals for established exotic operations.
- Kaiser Creek Ranch selects Nyala breeding stock specifically for horn symmetry, coat quality, and genetic diversity — ensuring every animal leaving our program strengthens your herd.
