Wild Cow

Were there North American wild cattle? Where did the longhorns of Texas found to be running wild by the earliest Spanish and Anglo settlers come from?

[Young Werther]

Hint! they came from Georgia!

[SunkenCiv]

North American wild cattle were called bison. :’)

Aurochs were the ancestors to domesticated cattle (at least in part), and the Texas longhorns are just a breed where that atavistic characteristic was brought out.

Actually from what I understand the was a species of wild cattle on the North American continent during the Ice Age. Big suckers too from what I know, with big horns. I think the texas Long Horn is a decsendant of it.
