Are These The World’s Most Iconic Cattle?
Are Texas Longhorns the world’s most iconic cattle? [Yes!] Who doesn’t love the wonderful Texas Longhorns?
“The Texas Longhorn made more history than any other breed of cattle the civilized world has known. As an animal in the realm of natural history, he was the peer of bison or grizzly bear. As a social factor, his influence on men was extraordinary. An economic agent in determining the character and occupation of a territory continental in its vastness, he moved elementally with drouth, grass, blizzards out of the Arctic and the wind from the south. However supplanted or however disparaged by evolving standards and generations, he will remain the bedrock on which the history of the cow country of America is founded.”
- J. Frank Dobie, The Longhorns (1941)
