Vanishing American the famed Texas Longhorn’s fate
Officials urge adding the longhorn to the Vanishing Americans list as the breed nears extinction with only about 250 pure-strain animals left. The piece traces its rise from Spanish cattle to pivotal role in Texas, and explains crossbreeding with Short horn and Hereford eroding the pure longhorn stock. It notes preservation efforts led by J Frank Dobie and support from Texan societies and the USDA.
