The Texas Longhorn (Bos Taurus) is a cattle breed known for its recognizable horns and distinct shades of dark red and white fur with occasional spotting. Texas Longhorns, also known as American Longhorns, are descendants of the first cattle that the explorer Christopher Columbus and the Spanish colonists brought into the West Indies, then through Mexico, and then finally arriving in Texas where they remain native. Texas Longhorns are descendants of Southern Iberia and are used for farming purposes or food consumption as they produce very lean beef.
