long horns

Wide-horned bovines

Long horns are cattle with extended, sweeping horns that can span several feet.

The term most often refers to Texas longhorns, a breed descended from Spanish cattle that became iconic of the American West.

Longhorn can also describe any animal—particularly cattle or beetles—distinguished by unusually elongated horns or antennae: a longhorn beetle, longhorn steers grazing on the ranch.
