Longhorn Bull Statue
The longhorn bull is known for its long, thick horns that can span over 8 feet from tip to tip. Our statue certainly depicts that length well! The history of the Texas Longhorn connects with the Spanish colonization of the Americas (way back to the late 1400's). The University of Texas at Austin has the Texas Longhorn as its mascot. BeVo. Current Bevo is their 6th.
After the time of large buffalo herds and the Plains Indians, Texas cattle spread northward to the open range and free grass on the Great Plains. Texas longhorns, accompanied by Texas cowboys, stocked most of the new ranches. It's interesting how the longhorn has had a major effect on our history.
Our Longhorn statue is 10 inches long has its own interesting story. Carved by hand in Mexico following centuries of experience, no two of these bulls are exactly the same. Please read The Ironwood Story to learn much more.
Longhorn has no base - so personalization not possible.
