Most cattle that are thought of when the term "southwest" is mentioned are the Texas Longhorn and Hereford breeds. Other cattle that do well in that area are Brahman-bred cattle like Beefmaster, Santa Gertrudis, Brangus, and others.
Mexico has an estimated cattle population of 22 million, while Texas has an estimated population of 16 million (2010). Mexico has more "cows".
The original home of most longhorn cattle is Texas, where they were developed from Spanish cattle brought to the Americas in the 16th century. These cattle thrived in the harsh conditions of the American Southwest and became known for their distinctive long horns and hardiness. Texas remains synonymous with longhorns, and they are often associated with the state's ranching culture and history.

The region known for cattle ranching and oil production is the American Southwest, particularly states like Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. These states have vast stretches of land suitable for grazing cattle as well as significant reserves of oil.
How is it there? Well, it was established there (as Southwest Texas Normal School, then Southwest Texas State College, then Southwest Texas State University, then to its present name), and it hasn't moved.
The longhorn cattle breed was created from the interbreeding of Spanish and English cattle. This hybridization resulted in a hardy breed that adapted well to the harsh conditions of the American Southwest. These cattle are known for their distinctive long horns and ability to thrive in arid climates.
The Spanish cattlemen (vaqueros) introduced cattle ranching and longhorns to the American Southwest (including Texas) during the 17th century. The 800-mile long Chisolm Trail was the major artery of cattle commerce through The Frontier States, leading from south Texas to the slaughterhouses in Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Louis.
