U. S. A. POSTCARDS COLLECTION

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.
