Texas
Longhorn Longevity
 Longhorns
are famous for their longer life span. Many cows live and calve regularly
past 20 years of age, with an occasional one producing past 25 or 30. In
commercial terms, this longer productive life means the rancher can retain
fewer replacement heifers to maintain herd size, allowing him to market
more calves annually. Many professional ranchers are finding that Texas
Longhorn influence can increase the productive life span by several years
over conventional beef breads.
