You can’t get much more Texas than having some Longhorn cattle hanging out by your pool.
DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas — Just when you thought you’ve seen everything Texas has to offer, you stumble across a photo of a Longhorn cow taking a sip of water out of a swimming pool.
Other states may let you swim with the dolphins but here in Texas, you can swim with the Longhorns.
John and Sherri Hendrix have a ranch in Dripping Springs, deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, about 30 miles east of Austin.
Their home, Triple H Ranch, sits on 23 acres with breathtaking views in every direction. They host weddings on their property and have a couple of AirBNBs that you can book so that you, too, can swim with the Longhorns.
Sherri said that she gave the cattle to her husband for Christmas six years ago. He was shocked.
“While many Longhorns are now kept as a hobby, the breed remains prevalent in Texas, with nearly half of the U.S. Longhorn population residing in the state,” according to the Texas Historical Commission.
But everyone that visits Triple H Ranch loves to take photos with the cattle, while enjoying the refreshing pool during the heat of a Texas summer.
Now THAT’S totally Texas!
