Longhorns

Longhorn cattle are very well named.

I saw five steers in a pasture Wednesday, They are owned by a man with a very large greenhouse business.

They immigrated to America with Columbus.  After 1700 some became feral in Mejico's Tejas territory.  They are a vigorous animal, that take heat well, can live off of scrub pasture, have little disease, and can handle drought well.  A century ago they were near extinction, and the US Forest Service gathered a herd in 1927.  By the 1960s they rose in popularity.

The steers have longer horns than bulls.

From where the cattle graze, the Kipton water tower is visible. Kipton is a very small village near the college town of Oberlin Ohio.
