Endangered Species

Texas Longhorn



Used for beef production. Good for grazing. Known for their longevity, fertility, and adaptability.

Endangered Species Status: Critical

This breed is listed under the critical endangered species list because in the early 1900's British, European, and Indian breeds were of higher quality and in more of a demand, so the longhorns popularity dropped causing farmers to select against bread the Longhorn.

  1. Would you like to see more Longhorns on cattle ranches? Hopefully this breed can get past the critical condition! Good pick!
