Initially brought by Spanish settlers in the 16th century, they became emblematic of the Texas cattle drives in the 19th century. Known for their intelligence, adaptability, and gentle disposition, longhorns are now often preserved as part of cultural heritage and conservation projects, showing a successful shift from near extinction in the early 20th century to symbols of wildlife conservation and ranching heritage.
