Texas Longhorn Cattle

The Texas Longhorn is an American breed of beef cattle characterized by its long horns, which can span more than 8 feet from tip to tip. It derives from cattle brought from the Iberian Peninsula to the Americas by Spanish conquistadors. Almost bred out of existence in the 1920s, thanks to conservation efforts the breed has regained popularity due to its longevity, resistance to disease, fertility, ease of calving, ability to thrive on marginal pastures, and growing popularity in a diet-conscious population's desire for lean beef.

Did you know...the term "maverick" originally was in reference to unbranded cattle. Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870) was a Texas land baron and cattle owner who refused to brand his cattle. In the mid-1800s, a calf or yearling without a brand became know as a maverick.
