Texas Longhorn, Kuzey Amerika'da doğal olarak şekillenen bir cinstir. Yaklaşık 500 yıl önce Amerikan topraklarına ayak basan ilk sığırların soyundan gelir. "en uygun olanın hayatta kalması" ilkesinin sonucunda bugünkü halini almıştır.

1927 yılında başlayarak, Teksas Longhorn'u Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Hükümeti tarafından Oklahoma ve Nebraska'daki vahşi yaşam alanlarında korunmuştur. Ayrıca, Teksas Longhorn'un genetik bir bağlantı olarak değerli olduğuna inanan ve koruma endişesi taşıyan bazı güneybatı sığır yetiştiricileri yıllar boyunca küçük sürülerini korumuşlardır.

Teksas Longhorn ineklerinin ve boğalarının çoğunun boynuzları dört fit veya daha kısadır. Ancak, olgun erkek sığırların ortalama boynuz açıklığı altı fit veya daha fazla olup, 15 yaşındaki bir hayvanın boynuz açıklığı dokuz fit kadar ulaşabilir. Teksas Longhorn sığırlarının maksimum ağırlığa ulaşması sekiz ila on yıl almaz ve olgunlaşmaları asla yavaş değildir.

Ne yazık ki, Teksas Longhorn'a devam eden ilginin çoğu bugünün sığır endüstrisinde, tarihsel ve akademik yönlerindeydi. Longhorn'un genetik potansiyeli ve ekonomik potansiyeli uzun yıllar boyunca neredeyse tamamen göz ardı edilmiştir. Ancak şimdi Teksas Longhorn, önemli başka bir yolda ilerlemeye başlıyor.

Teksas Longhorn, Iber Yarımadası'nda evcilleşmiş bozkır öküzlerinden "taurine" ve Hindistan'da evcilleşmiş öküzlerden "indicine" olmak üzere iki eski sığır soyunun melezinden kaynaklandığı genetik analizlerle ortaya çıkmıştır.

En uzun kaydedilmiş boynuz uzunluğu 129,5 inç (3,29 m) olan Longhorn M Arrow Cha-Ching'e aittir. Bu Longhorn, Fayetteville, Teksas yakınlarında yaşayan Richard Flip'e aittir. Kaydedilen ikinci en uzun boynuz uzunluğu ise, 13 Eylül 2018'de uçtan uca 100 inç (2.54 m) ölçülen Tallgrass Sığırcılık Şirketi'nin 3S Danica'sına aittir.

Portekiz sığırlarından Alentejana ve Mertolenga gibi cinsler, Teksas Longhorn'a en yakın mevcut akrabalardır. 1493'te, Kristof Kolomb, asıl ataları olan sığırları Karayip adası La Isla Española'ya (şimdi bilinen adıyla Hispaniola) yerleşen kolonistler için bir gıda kaynağı olarak getirdi.

Teksas Longhorn sığırları genellikle et üretimi için kullanılan özel bir sığır cinsidir. Özellikle çok uzun boynuzlarıyla tanınır ve genellikle uzun, kıvrımlı boynuzlara sahiptirler. Hayvanların ortalama ağırlığı 272 ile 545 kg arasındadır.
