Texas
longhorns have the longest horns of any cattle. The first signs of the
horns can be seen at the age of just three weeks. The horns grow
sideways out of the head and twist slightly at the tips. By around the
time a bull turns one, its horns will already have grown to around half
their adult length.
Fun Fact
A Texas longhorn bull is fully grown at the age of four, when it weighs between 680 and 1,000 kg.
