Baby Texas Longhorns at the Sutton's spread in Dayton, TX (photo by Kenn Stearns

Celebrating Memorial Day at the Sutton’s spread east of Lake Houston with two excellent examples of Texas Longhorn with burnt orange coloring, descendants of the first domestic cattle to reach the Americas from Spain in the late 1400s. Texas Longhorn calves are tough – they can stand up sooner after birth than other breeds. This breed of cattle is distinguished by their innate gentle disposition and intelligence.
