' At cne time nearly the whole plains country from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border "belonged" to the longhora. Today, according to the bureau, of biological survey, fewer than 299 real Texas longhora cattle are In existence. The largest herd now is at the Wichita Mountains wildlife refuge Cache, Okli., whore about 149 of these pitwsque animals roam 's the ranges under tile" biological protection. Eighteen Jofifftofn are on the Fort Niobara game pM serve near Valentine, Neb., and others' are in private ownership. The cattle at the Wichita refuge descend from 80 longhorns brought to the area in 1027, when it was administered by the forest service. One member of that original herd from the coastal plains of Texas till lives "Old Red," a gaunt cow more than 20 years old. Ldnghoms may be described as leggy, hardy, active animals with long keen horns and an af gresiive disposition. In color they range from black, brlndle, dun, spotted, buck skin, red, roan, and white to variof these colors. ous combination Special characteristics are coarse hairs about the forehead and in the prominence ears, and a of the bone along the top of the rump just back of a line across the hipbones. Breed Slower to Develop. i Slow to growth, a longhora requires two or three more yesrs to attain maturity than do other breeds of cattle. As long as the animal grows, the horns continue growing. On record are horns with spreads cf six, seven and even eight feet, from tip to tip. Saga of the longhora goes back to 1921, when the first cattle were brought to American shores by Gre-gor- io Villalobes, a governor-genersent to "New Spain." John Hatton, of the forest service and probably the outstanding living authority on longhorns, states that "these Spanish calves were the progenitors of the millions of leghorns that spread from Vera Cruz northerly over the coastal plains of Texas and the plains region of the Far West . . .
