Texas Longhorn, Baccus Plaza, Frisco, Texas - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Marker Text Reads:
"Texas Longhorn - the texas Longhorn is a sturdy, hybrid breed resulting from a random mixing of Spanish refinto stock and English cattle brought to Texas in the 1820's and 1830's by Anglo-American frontiersmen. Longhorns with their long legs, hard hoofs, and little need for water, ability to swim rivers and survive the weather extreams were ideal trail cattle.
During the first half of the 1800's, texas longhorns were trailed to markets in Missouri and beyond. Through the 1880's contractors drove five to ten million cattle out of Texas, reviving the state's economy devastated by the Civil War. Baccus Plaza 2006"
