1. Where does the Texas Longhorn come from?
Answer: Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas, USA
Texas Longhorns descend from Spanish cattle that came to the Americas in the 1500s. Some ran wild across southern Texas, and by the 1800s cowboys were driving herds of them north to markets. Fort Worth, nicknamed Cowtown, was a big stopping point for those cattle drives. The Stockyards there still send a small herd of longhorns down the street each day for visitors.
