Trip to Texas-(4) Texas Longhorn

The Texas Longhorn is a distinctive breed of cattle renowned for its impressively long horns, which can extend to over 100 inches from tip to tip for both cows and bulls. These cattle were originally introduced to Texas by Spanish colonists.

My first encounter with these unique bovines was in Dallas, where I initially observed sculptures of them. However, my excitement grew when I spotted real and living Texas Longhorns in the countryside while driving from Dallas to Fredericksburg. Their strikingly long horns and robust appearance exuded a strong and masculine aura, making them exceptionally beautiful creatures. Although these cattle once played a pivotal role in Texas's history, today they are primarily showcased for special events and exhibitions.
