TEXAS
LONGHORN COW
Texas, U.S.A.
The
Longhorn has always been a popular symbol of Texas. The horns can have a spread over six feet.
The
Texas Longhorn is a breed of cattle known for its characteristic horns,
which can extend to over 1.8 m (5.9 ft) tip to tip for bulls, and
2.1 m (6.9 ft) tip to tip for steers and exceptional cows.
They
are descendants of the first cattle in the New World, brought by Christopher
Columbus and the Spanish colonists, and have a high drought-stress tolerance.
Texas Longhorns are known for their diverse coloring, and can be any color or
mix of colors, but dark red and white color mixes are the most dominant.
