Ox (brown) and Bull (black) - Longhorns Cattle - Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, Norfolk

Once a Rare Breed, English Longhorns came close to extinction in the middle years of the last century but have proved themselves to have a valuable role to play in the production of quality, healthy beef from grass.

 

English Longhorns are large lean beef cattle with an impressive sweep of horns. They are a strikingly attractive breed. The body may be any one of a wide range of brindle colours but they all have the characteristic white line along the back and down the tail, which is passed onto their cross bred progeny.
