longhorn cattle

Wide-horned beef breed

Longhorn cattle are a breed distinguished by their exceptionally long, curved horns, which can span several feet.

Texas longhorns descend from Spanish cattle brought to the Americas and became iconic in the American West, where they were driven north on cattle trails in the late 1800s.

The breed is hardy and adapted to harsh rangeland conditions.
