TexasLonghorns

We get the question all the time, "why longhorns?" At surface level, it's pretty easy to see the appeal! Texas Longhorn cattle are not at all hard to look at! They come in a variety of flashy colors and patterns, and of coures their horns are quite impressive. But if you look deeper into the breed, you'll find a hearty animal that provides nutritious, lean beef. Longhorns are known for being able to ward off diseases which are common and debilitating to most other breeds. Longhorns are genetically resistant to certain diseases and parasites. Their durability and hardiness reduces losses and cuts costs for cattle producers. They're also incredibly adaptive to their environment, allowing them to thrive in the hot tropics, the icy winters of northern Canada, and everywhere in between. Despite their tough look, Longhorns are among the easiest breeds to handle and control. They're also excellent, protective mothers, and they calve easily compared to other breeds that may need assistance giving birth. The Longhorn breed of cattle were introduced to North America in the 1500’s when Spain settled this continent. They were prized for their endurance and ability to find forage when forage was “lean”. This ancestry of the Longhorns make the composition of the Longhorn different from the heavier, fattier beef cattle. Longhorns do not put on the fat that you find in other cattle, hence healthier, leaner beef. You might say that Texas Longhorns are the athletes of the cattle world with their strength and endurance.
