BULL WEATHERVANE
Texas Longhorn Bull Weathervane
by West Coast Weather Vanes

Bull Weathervane, Texas Longhorn Bull
The Texas Longhorn weathervane featured in this photo was made of hand shaped copper with gold leafed horns. Arriving in the United States via Mexico, the Texas Longhorn is probably one of the most distinctive breeds of cattle today. Instantly recognizable, a Texas Longhorn is a perfect subject for creating a classic weathervane design. We can even use optional gold leaf to match individual markings, add a brand to make it a one-of-a-kind sculpture piece and/or put the name of the operation on a custom designed arrow fletching. When proudly displayed on top of a barn on a ranch, it can be written off as an advertising business expense. We even made one Texas Longhorn weathervane for an enthusiastic alum of the University of Texas at Austin.
Cattle (often called cows in vernacular and contemporary usage, or kye as the Scots plural of cou) are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovines of the family Bovidae. They are raised as livestock for meat (called beef and veal), dairy products (milk), leather and as draught animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). In some countries, such as India, they are subject to religious ceremonies and respect. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion head of cattle in the world today.
Cows - Cattle are ruminants, meaning that they have a digestive system that allows them to utilize otherwise undigestible foods by repeatedly regurgitating and rechewing them as "cud." The cud is then reswallowed and further digested by specialized microorganisms that live in the rumen. These features allow cattle to thrive on grasses and other vegetation. The Texas longhorn is a breed of cattle known for its characteristic horns, which can extend to six feet in width and have a slight upward turn at their tips, as well as for their distinctive burnt orange coloring.
