Free range Angus cows
along the side of the road!We saw and photographed several groups of cattle... free range cows and longhorn cattle. Longhorn cattle are a long-horned brown and white breed of beef cattle originating from Craven in the north of England. They have a white patch along the line of their spine and under their bellies. There is also the Texas longhorn breed, which is also called Longhorn cattle.
Texas longhorns have curved horns that can go over the face, and can go in any shape and size, though usually up and away from the face. Texas longhorn cattle can be any color, a cow can be other than blue-roan, while longhorn are only brown and white. So now you know a little about longhorns... looks like this ranch had both breeds, and those blue-roan's are males!
