The Texas Longhorn is a breed of cattle known for its characteristic horns, which can extend to 7 ft tip to tip for steers and exceptional cows, and 36 to 80 in tip to tip for bulls. Similar cattle were imported by Spanish colonists into other parts of North America, including California and Florida. Horns can have a slight upward turn at their tips or even triple twist. Texas Longhorns are known for their diverse coloring. A longhorn can be any color or mix of colors but dark red and white color mixes are the most dominant.
