The Texas Longhorn is not a result of just two specific breeds but rather a product of natural selection and crossbreeding over several centuries. They originated from cattle brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers, which interbred with English cattle brought by settlers. This diverse genetic background, influenced by natural selection in the harsh environments of Texas, led to the development of the resilient Texas Longhorn breed.
