Longhorns a fading symbol of Texas open range
A Dallas News inquiry finds several hundred typical longhorns remain across Texas on scattered ranches. In North Texas only one survives at Shady Oak Farm near Lake Worth, with Northwest Texas noting a lone example on Grodnight ranch near Goodnight. Once abundant across the western half, the breed is mostly skin and bone now, valued mainly as a historic link to the open-range era.
