Longhorn definition and meaning

What is a "Longhorn"?

The Longhorn is a breed of cattle known for its long, distinctive horns that can span several feet from tip to tip. Originally from the United States, Longhorns are known for their adaptability, hardiness, and ability to thrive in harsh environments. They have a characteristic appearance with long, curved horns that can come in a variety of colors and patterns. Longhorns were originally used as working cattle, primarily for herding and driving purposes, and were an integral part of the American cattle industry during the late 19th century. Today, Longhorns are popular for their meat, hides, and as ornamental animals in some regions. They are also valued for their historical significance and cultural heritage, as they are considered an iconic symbol of the American West.
