Longhorn steers are plentiful here in TX.
Why does Texas A&M have a collie as their mascot? That, I think, is a more interesting question.

These teams are referred to as the Texas Longhorns, taking their name from the Longhorn cattle that were an important part of the development of Texas, and are now the official "large animal" of the State of Texas.

The Longhorn is our state large mammal. Longhorns represent Texas.

A team can't possibly suck if they made it to the National Championship game. Oklahoma is a great team, they played better than the Longhorns all season.

Well I'm not sure and really don't care but I can tell you how Texas A&M changed the steer's name from varsity to bevo!
Sounds like there are some upset tea-sippers answering this question.

They are named after a breed of cattle called long horns because they have extremely long horns. That is really a no brainer.
