Did You Know About Longhorns?

Did you know about longhorns?




Living in Texas, we see longhorns all the time. In fact, NASA has some longhorns on its campus. No, it isn't for training steers for life on the moon. This project has been ongoing for about ten years. It is for research and study of the longhorns as well as for helping youth get involved with raising and caring for the steers.


Yesterday, we saw one of the longhorns from the NASA project at the Houston Livestock Show. Though our pictures are not great, you can get an idea of just how big this animal is.

I really enjoy the longhorns. A rancher about 4 miles from here has some and I visit them sometimes. They're incredible animals!
