These cattle are not only a symbol of Texan history but also a living piece of the American West. Originating from Spanish stock brought over in the 1500s, Longhorns became wild and were later domesticated by settlers and cowboys. Adapted to the harsh environment of the Southwest, they played a crucial role in the development of ranching in the United States. Today, Longhorns are celebrated for their diverse coloring, gentle temperament, and lean beef. They are often featured in art and media and are considered an integral part of Texan heritage.
