Longhorns Laying

Texas Longhorns, often referred to simply as "Longhorns," are a distinctive breed of cattle known for their iconic long, curved horns and historical significance. They originated in the 16th century when Spanish explorers and settlers brought cattle with them to the Americas. These cattle, known as "Criollo" or "Spanish cattle," were the ancestors of the Texas Longhorn breed. Their horns come in various shapes and can twist, curve, and have a wide range of colors. Longhorns are known for their hardiness and adaptability. Historically, they played a crucial role in the development of the American cattle industry because of their ability to thrive in the challenging conditions of the Texas frontier. Longhorns are considered a heritage breed, and efforts have been made to conserve and preserve the breed's genetic diversity. Some breeders are dedicated to maintaining the traditional characteristics of Longhorns, including their distinctive horn shapes and color variations.
