TL's are not nearly as popular as Black Angus cattle or any of the other beef breeds because both of the colouration of their hides and the presence of their horns. Salebarns will dock for hides that are of mottled colour and cattle that have horns. Because of this Longhorns are best for direct-selling meat, for rodeo stock, and as lawn ornaments.

Texas Longhorns almost went into extinction around 100 years ago because most of them, those wild cattle that lived and grew in population in the Southwestern states and territories had been rounded up and sold to slaughter houses back East. But with careful breeding and consistent attention to making sure the breed increases in popularity, Texas Longhorns have made a come-back. However, they will never be as popular as they once were 200 years ago.
