Much of the Shorthorn breed are polled, and come in only three colours: red, white and roan. Shorthorns were historically more commonly known as Durham cattle, which had horns that only had a spread of about two to three feet. Longhorn cattle (assuming you're referring to Texas Longhorns and not English Longhorns) come in wider variation of colourations, from all black to dun to speckled black and white or red and white, and near everything in between. TL's have long horns, ranging from 6 to 7 feet in length, more commonly the former and point out and up. They are commonly not as big and beefy as Shorthorns are, being more rangy-looking than most beef cattle. English Longhorns are always a red roan with their horns pointing downwards and in. They are less common in North America than either shorties or TL's.
