Genetic analysis showed that the Texas Longhorn originated from an Iberian Iberia of two ancient Catalinaeges, Taurine descending from the domestication of wild arx and the Middle East and Endocene descending from the domestication of arx and indium, 85% and 15% respectively by proportion. The Texas Longhorn's are direct descendants of the first cattle introduced to the new world. The ancestral cattle were brought by colonizer Christopher Columbus in 1493 to the Caribbean island that would become his banyola, to supply food to colonists. Between 1493 and 1512 Spanish colonists by additional cattle and subsequent expeditions, the cattle consisted of three different breeds, Burrinda, Rotento and Grande Pieto. Over the next two centuries, the Spanish used the cattle in Mexico and gradually moved in north to a company of their settlement. They reached the area that would become known as Texas near the end of the 17th century. The cattle escaped or were turned loose on the open range where they remained mostly feral for the next two centuries. Over several generations, descendants of these cattle developed to have high feed and dropped stress tolerance and other hearty characteristics that have gained long horns their high reputation as livestock. Early Anglo-American settlers in east Texas, then part of Mexico, obtained feral Mexican cattle from the borderline between Nueces River and the Rio Grande. They bred them to their own eastern cattle. The result was a tough, rangel animal with long legs and long horns, extending up to seven feet. The interbreeding produces changes in colors of the breed. The varieties of color range from blueish gray and various yellowish hues to browns black, ruddy and white, both cleanly bright and dirty speckled. Portuguese cattle breeds such as Elantahena and Mordor Hania are the closest existing relatives to Texas long horns.
