Thank you for interest in Texas Longhorn history.
On the voyages of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish first brought long-horned cattle to the Americas in 1494. Descendants of these ocean voyagers were the first cattle to populate the Americas.
Over the centuries, the survivors of those first cattle multiplied from isolated bands to literally millions! Thus evolved the Texas Longhorn, Imported by Spanish explorers, refined by nature and tested by time and the elements.
They are not only the choice for large ranch operations, but also ideal for the weekend and backyard producers. They take care of themselves when the owner is not around.
Longhorns are famous for their long life span. Many live past 20 years of age. We hope that you will enjoy your Texas Longhorns for many years to come.
