Cattle have played a defining role in Texas history. In the late 1800s, millions of longhorns roamed the state, fueling the cattle drives that moved herds north along trails like the Chisholm Trail to meet growing demand across the country. These drives helped establish Texas as a central force in the American cattle industry.

The Texas Longhorn, known for its resilience and distinctive horns, became a symbol of that era—able to survive harsh conditions and travel long distances across open land. Ranching didn’t just shape the economy; it helped define the identity of the state.

This illustration reflects that legacy—a reminder of the enduring connection between Texas, its land, and the cattle that helped build it.
