Are longhorn cattle in the state of Michigan?

Actually, there are longhorn cattle in Michigan, just not as many as you'd find in the more southern and southwestern states. The reason being is that the climate is too cold for them to thrive in like the would thrive in the south. Michigan winters are very hard on longhorn cattle, unlike other cattle like Herefords, Angus, or Simmental, for instance.


Informations about the Texas Longhorns?

Texas longhorns were created in the 1800s when Spanish cattle and Anglo cattle were mixed to create a strong, long-horned cow that the Texans called by its horn, the Texas longhorn. Cattle is how many Texans got rich, for the demand for beef was high after the Civil War. Cattle were extremely cheap in Texas and expensive everywhere else, a perfect deal for Texans who wanted to sell for more but buy for less. Hope this helps! :)

When did the cattle industry start in Texas?

The Texas cattle industry had its origins from the Spanish culture in raising cattle and ranching.

It's mainly because there were large populations of longhorn cattle in that area, not to mention the Mexicans and Spanish descendants of those who came on the ship with Christopher Columbus were cattlemen and cowboys themselves. When Texas was taken over and made into a state of the United States, much of these people stayed here and were part of the reason that the cattle industry became so prevailent in that area, as well as areas west north and some of east.


How did the Texas Longhorn breed get to Texas?

Texas Longhorns, but only as a breed name, originated in Texas, they were named as such in the mid 1800's. The cattle from this breed have ancestry from the Spanish long-horned cattle that came with Christopher Columbus when he and many others landed in what was termed the "New World." These cattle, upon becoming feral from escaping from the Spanish settlements, adapted to the land in and around what is now known as Texas (as well as Arizona, New Mexico, California and other Southwestern states) and became very abundant in their populations, until men from back East rounded them up and herded them north to be turned into beef. Other American breeds stemmed from these Spanish cattle, including Corriente and Florida Cracker/Pineywoods.

Why do you think cattle trails headed to the north?

Many of the large cattle barons lived in the southern state of Texas. The rail lines were north of Texas and Oklahoma.


Why did the cattle trails tend to begin in south Texas?

Cattle trails tended to begin in south Texas because this region provided ample grazing lands and mild climate for cattle to thrive. Additionally, cattle could be easily transported by ship to south Texas from Mexico, where many of the cattle originated. The expansive open terrain in south Texas also allowed for the efficient movement of large herds of cattle towards the Northern markets.
